Japanese Chef's Knife Gyuto/Chef Kiya UMEJI Tokyo - Fumio Murakami
Very sharp Japanese chef's knife 200 mm KIYA Umeji Japan. The knife spine and blade taper to a point for versatile use of the extraordinary cutting force. Cutting, slicing, cleaning meat, fruit and vegetables - nothing will be a problem for this unique Japanese-shaped knife. The GYUTO chef's knife is also suitable for cradling herbs, vegetables and nuts thanks to its higher tip. The long blade and comfortable Asian-style handle give you the best control when cutting and slicing. Japanese art, precision and new technologies make this knife unique.
Each of the knives from Mr. Fumio Murakami was made and sharpened by hand by a craftsman who inherited his skills from his father. The secrets of steel, knife making and knife skills have been passed down for six generations. KIYA Umeji Japan knives are made with the knowledge gained from the production of famous Japanese swords. These knives are really very sharp, flexible and incomparable. These knives are said to "have a soul".
The blade is made of Takefu V1 steel. The western 3x knurled handle is made of ebony wood. It is always neatly hand-polished, ergonomically shaped and designed for excellent hand control. This knife is suitable for right and left hand use.
We recommend purchasing a sheath or blade protector for the knife.

Attention
Each knife is made of natural materials. Each piece of steel is original and inimitable, so your knife may not look exactly like the photo. The knife you receive will be of the same quality and detail, but may vary slightly.

Sharpening a kitchen knife
We recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% confident in your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.
Cleaning the kitchen knife:
Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it's not the blade that rusts, it's the attached particles. For example, baking soda is commonly used for removal, which when soaked forms a "slurry" and an old cork.
