Feel the finesse and detail of Japanese design with this Tamahagane Tsubame santoku knife!
The blade of this santoku measures 17.5cm: this rather broad blade is a kitchen essential! In Japan, it's the equivalent of a Western chef's knife: versatile and useful for everyday culinary tasks. Cut vegetables and meat in no time at all, thanks to its formidable blade!
Tamahagane is a steel used in Japan to make the famous samurai 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 traditional skills of Japanese cutlers.
Made from VG5 steel, the core of the blade is enriched with 0.7% / 0.8% carbon . Carbon contributes to the blade's level of hardness, which is why it can reach an HRC index of 59 on the Rockwell scale. The razor-sharp edge of this knife will help you save time in the kitchen. This high hardness means that you won't need to sharpen it as often as blades with standard hardness, as it will wear less quickly. Cutting quality is also enhanced tenfold thanks to VG5, a steel whose properties are very similar to those of VG10, but which has the advantage of being more resistant to corrosion(which doesn't mean it's stainless!). To maintain a good cutting edge, you'll need to sharpen the blade with a grit whetstone. A softer steel wraps around this hard core to balance flexibility 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, repelling foods that tend to stick, such as fatty foods. Cutting will therefore be more pleasant with this type of hammered blade.
The micarta handle is highly appreciated in professional circles: a mixture of paper and resin, this material is very easy to maintain, requiring only a wipe down with a sponge. Each handle has a different black and gray veining: you'll be the only cook to own this knife!
This santoku knife has undeniable assets... Enthusiasts and amateurs alike will be seduced by the sharpness and design of this knife, as will catering professionals. You can freely display your Tamahagane Tsubame knives on a magnet bar, and they'll look just as good on the wall as they do on the table!
