Product detailed description
Unagi-Saki chef's knife from Kanetsune G-Series
Extremely sharp Japanese knife Unagi-Saki from Kanetsune Honsho Kanemasa G-Series. Unagi means eel in Japanese. The tip of the knife is very sharp, making it ideal for filleting fish, especially eels. This is done by inserting the sharp tip of a knife into the eel near the head and then making a cut along the length of the eel so that the backbone can be easily removed. Then the special shape of the knife helps you to create the desired portions or fillets. At first glance, this type of knife is characterised by a short handle that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.
In addition to the standard version as shown in the picture, there are many other local styles that vary significantly for different Japanese cities such as Nagoya, Osaka and Kyoto.
Even the simplest tasks are elevated to an extraordinary experience with this beautiful and functional knife. The sharp blade and D-shaped handle made of magnolia wood give you the best control when cutting and slicing.

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.
