The Japanese knife set with high-performance blades
Here's what's inside:
- 1 9cm paring knife
- 1 chef's knife 18cm
These Japanese knives feature a damascened blade, a forging technique that consists of creating a rigid steel core surrounded by several layers of flexible steel. This method provides extra protection to the core of the blades while balancing their rigidity.
The core of these blades is made from Japanese VG10 steel. With a high carbon content of around 1%, this element increases blade rigidity. As a result, their hardness is 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, offering excellent edge retention for optimum cutting performance.
To complete the damascus finish, 68 layers of stainless steel are added around the core. They provide protection and make the blades less brittle in use. You can see the different layers of steel superimposed over the entire surface of the blades, forming fine, elegant wave patterns.
Handles to suit all hands
These damascus knives have handles made from black pakkawood, a composite material renowned for its strength. This material is composed of resin and laminated wood, hot-pressed together, offering the advantages of composite while retaining the natural look of wood.
The handles of these Japanese kitchen knives are Western-shaped to suit both right- and left-handed cooks! Practical, they ensure an ergonomic grip for optimum maneuverability, even during prolonged use!
Last but not least, 3 rivets have been added to the handles to securely fasten the full-bristle blades. What's more, a stainless steel bolster links the handles to the blades, providing ideal balance!
These Satake knives come in a cardboard box for optimum protection! They also make an excellent gift idea!
To care for your Japanese knives, wash them exclusively by hand with a soft sponge. Once washed, wipe them dry immediately to remove all moisture and store them in a dry place. Do not put them in the dishwasher, nor leave them to soak in the sink.
