Experience Japanese savoir-faire with this Tamahagane Tsubame chef knife!
The Tamahagane brand is named after the steel used in Japan to make the famous, razor-sharp swords. The reputation of the sharpness of these Japanese swords speaks volumes about the level of sharpness of Tamahagane knives. The Tsubame range perfectly showcases the ancestral know-how of Japanese cutlers.
The blade of this chef's knife measures 18cm: this rather broad blade is a must-have for every cook. In fact, its versatility makes it a must-have for every dish. Whether slicing vegetables, meat or herbs, the chef's knife will perform all these functions and more.
Made from VG5 steel, the core of the blade contains around 0.7% to 0.8% carbon, giving it a high hardness of 59 HRC. The razor-sharp edge of this knife will help you become faster in the kitchen. This hardness means the blade needs sharpening less frequently than standard steel blades. It will wear less quickly than other blades, and cutting quality is of course greatly enhanced. VG5 is very similar to VG10 steel, but has the advantage of being more resistant to corrosion(which doesn't mean it's rustproof!). To keep a sharp edge, you'll need to opt for gentle sharpening with a double-sided whetstone, preferably with a 3000/8000 grit. A more flexible steel covers this hard core to balance suppleness and hardness.
When using this knife, you'll notice that hammering is not just a question of design. In fact, the small indentations act as honeycombs: when cutting your food, they are less likely to stick to the blade than with smooth blades, making cutting much more pleasant.
The micarta handle is highly hygienic: a mixture of paper and resin, this material is anti-bacterial, an asset for professionals working in humid environments where bacteria develop more rapidly. Each handle has a different black and grey veining: you'll be the owner of a knife that's unique in the world! The knife can be quickly cleaned with a sponge and a soft cloth.
This chef's knife has the qualities every cook dreams of! Enthusiasts and amateurs will be just as enchanted as professional chefs. Display your Tamahagane Tsubame knives on a magnetic block to impress your guests!
