Product detailed description
japanese Kamagata (ko-santoku) chef's knife KIYA® Western Style
Kamagata knife is a specific type of Japanese knife, which at first sight impresses with its characteristic blade shape - with a slightly rounded tip and a wide blade. Its name "Kamagata" translates to "sickle shape", referring to its rounded profile, ideal for precise and smooth slicing. This type of knife is very popular with professional chefs and demanding home users who are looking for a tool with perfect cutting control. Kamagata is often used in the preparation of vegetables, fruits, herbs, but thanks to its versatility it can also work with meat or fish. Designed with a woman's hand in mind, the small ko-Santoku knife is the perfect kitchen helper. The word "Santoku" means "three virtues" in Japanese, referring to its versatility in slicing and chopping. This knife is lighter and shorter than traditional kitchen knives, making it easy to handle and comfortable to hold. Its compact design makes it ideal for smaller hands and enables precise and fast cutting. The ko-Santoku small knife is a great choice for women looking for a tool that combines elegance, lightness and efficiency in the kitchen.

Notice
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% sure of 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 a 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.
