Product detailed description

Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami precision knife with DLC coating and damascus steel blade SPG2

Very sharp Japanese KIRITSUKE/Petty 150 mm knife made of quick-cutting powder steel SPG2 with impressive design and highest quality.

Sharpness: hamaguriha (convex edge) The excellent powdered steel SPG2 is ground into a"hamaguriba" shape, just like Japanese swords. This ensures perfect sharpness and durability of the blade.

Heat treatment: the Sub-Zero process - special cooling of the blade to temperatures of -70 °C or lower, providing high hardness and toughness.

DLC Coating: the Diamond-Like Carbon Coating is a coating that is used to coat various materials. It is a thin layer that is applied to the surface to improve its properties. The DLC coating is named after its resemblance to a diamond. Although the coating itself is not made up of diamond, it has some similar properties. The DLC coating consists of an amorphous form of carbon and other elements such as hydrogen or nitrogen. This combination gives the coating hardness and durability. DLC coating is used in a variety of industries, including automotive and medical devices. The benefits of DLC coating include:

1. Hardness: the DLC coating provides a very hard surface that increases wear and abrasion resistance.

2. Reducing friction: a DLC-coated surface can reduce friction and wear on components, improving their life and performance.

3. Resistance to chemicals: DLC coating is chemically inert, which means it is resistant to corrosive substances and chemicals.

4. Anti-reflection properties: the DLC coating can reduce light reflectivity and improve the optical properties of the surface

5. Biocompatibility: for medical applications, the DLC coating is biocompatible, which means it is compatible with the human body and minimizes the possibility of allergic reactions.

DLC Coatingseis applied by physical vaporization or chemical vaporization, whereby a thin layer of carbon is deposited on the surface of the material at higher temperatures and low pressure.

We recommend buying a sheath or protective cap for the knife.

Recommendations and maintenance

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.
