Each knife is made using a variety of traditional techniques and passes through the hands of master craftsmen such as cutlers and sharpeners. In addition to the historical techniques, the passion and skill of the craftsmen is put into each piece, and each knife bears a high mark of quality and is unique.
This knife has a Kamagata (literally "sickle") tip, or also called a "Sheepsfoot" blade profile. It originated in the Kansai (Akasaka) area of Japan and is often preferred over the square Usubo from the Kantō (Tokyo) area because the rounded tip is more versatile in use. This is very important for precise cutting or even decorative cutting techniques. The Kamagata-Usuba is ideal for slicing vegetables and fruits that are served raw because the thin and sharp blade produces a slicing surface with very little damage to the cells in the cut, minimizing discoloration and discoloration of the fruit or vegetable caused by oxidation of the cut surface. The versatile central part of the blade can be used not only for fine slicing of vegetables, but also for performing the specialised Katsuramuki ("Rotary peeling") technique.
The relatively high and long blade is also ideal for processing large ingredients such as cabbage, but is not recommended for cutting vegetables or fruit with hard skins or hard cores, as this hard surface could damage the blade. The high blade is also very useful if you use the knuckles of your free hand to guide the blade while slicing, which is a great technique if you want to slice vegetables at a certain uniform thickness.
Generally, the recommended sizes for home cooks are Kamagata,Usuba,Kamagata-Usuba 180 mm to 210 mm. For customers who prefer a knife with a double bevel blade, we recommend the similarly shaped Nakiri, which was also designed specifically for cutting vegetables.Japanese knives are part of the repertoire of many chefs. Even the simplest tasks are elevated to an extraordinary experience with this beautiful and functional knife. The handle is octagonal in shape and is made of ebony wood, which is extremely hard, buffalo horn is used for the bolster.

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.
