Cutlery description Production area:Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture (Echizen Cutlery) Category: Santoku Blade length: 170mm Steel: V-gold No. 10 Handle: Black plywood with ferrule (The ferrule prevents dirt from accumulating at the boundary between the blade and handle, which is where dirt tends to accumulate, making it hygienic to use.) This is a high-grade stainless steel blade steel developed by Takefu Special Steel, and is used not only for Echizen forged knives, but also for a wide range of other purposes. It is a rust-resistant stainless steel with a high chromium content, and is classified according to the carbon and chromium content, such as V Gold No. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, V Gold Special, and Gold No. 2.

Petty Knife Sai Damascus Finish Micarta Handle with Bolster 150mm (ペティ サイ ダマスカス仕上げ マイカルタ柄 口金付 150mm)
¥22,800
※You can still order items that are out of stock. We will arrange it for you, so please feel free to request it via DM or other means. Cutlery description Production area: Seki City, Gifu Prefecture (Seki Cutlery) Category: Petty knife Blade length: 150mm Steel: Laminated steel Handle: Micarta handle with ferrule (The ferrule prevents dirt from accumulating at the edge of the blade and handle, making it hygienic to use.) Damascus steel is famous in the world of knives. Its woodgrain-like pattern is very popular, and it is often out of stock. Damascus steel is made by layering many thin steel sheets in a mille-feuille style and sharpening them to create the woodgrain pattern. Damascus steel itself is a steel material made in ancient India, and knives currently on the market are sold with a "Damascus finish" or "Damascus pattern" that resemble the image of Damascus steel. This base metal is often made by steel manufacturers, and occasionally blacksmiths make knives that are forged in a similar way. It can be confusing because knife manufacturers use terms such as "Damascus finish," "sumigashi," "forged surface," and "laminated steel," but basically they are all the same kind of product.

Gyuto by Takamura Hamono Seisakusho Powdered High-Speed Steel Three-Layer with Bolster 180mm (牛刀 高村刃物製作所製 粉末ハイス鋼 三層 口金付 180mm)
¥38,900
※You can still order items that are out of stock. We will arrange it for you, so please feel free to request it via DM or other means. Cutlery description Production area: Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture (Echizen Cutlery) Category: Gyuto Blade length: 180mm Steel: Powdered high-speed steel Handle: Ferrule (The ferrule prevents dirt from accumulating at the boundary between the blade and the handle, which is prone to dirt accumulation, and allows for hygienic use) This knife was made by Takamura Cutlery Manufacturing, which is based on the philosophy of "good materials, good forging and heat treatment, and good sharpening." This knife has been highly praised by professional chefs, who say that "the cut surface of the food is shiny," "it is comfortable to use," and "it has an interesting side that cannot be summed up simply as being sharp." The steel used is "powdered high-speed steel." High-speed steel was originally developed as a blade steel for metal processing, such as the tip of a drill. Powdered high-speed steel is made by first turning metal into powder and removing impurities, resulting in a dense metal structure that is strong and wear-resistant, making it popular as a steel material for knives. However, due to its high hardness, it takes time to resharpen the knife.

Santoku Shigekisaku VG10 Layered Steel Sword-shaped 180mm (三徳 誠貴作 V金10号 積層鋼 剣型 180mm)
¥38,800
SOLD OUT
※You can still order items that are out of stock. We will arrange it for you, so please feel free to request it via DM or other means. Cutlery description Production area:Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture (Banshu Miki Cutlery) Category: Santoku Blade length: 180mm Steel: V Gold No. 10 Structure: Laminated structure Handle: Black plywood This sword-shaped Santoku has a blade between a Santoku and a Gyuto knife, and is made by Tanaka Ichino Cutlery Factory in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Naturally, it cuts well, but Makoto's unique knives are full of originality that you won't find anywhere else. The best thing about this knife is that it has a laminated structure in which thin stainless steel, which is made hard in the center to give it a sharp edge, is sandwiched between thin stainless steel in a mille-feuille shape, and when sharpened, it creates a wave pattern with many lines running through it. Also, compared to a regular Santoku knife, the blade is thinner and more similar to a Gyuto knife. Because each knife is sharpened by a craftsman, no two knives are exactly the same, and each one is one of a kind.

This knife has a laminated structure and is handmade one by one by a craftsman, making it difficult to reproduce the pattern on the edge of the blade, resulting in a one-of-a-kind pattern. The flat part of the blade has been hammered, which creates a gap between the food and the blade, making it very easy to separate the food from the blade. The handle also has a laminated structure, and by stacking and compressing thin pieces of wood, the density inside the handle is increased, making it highly water-resistant.

By increasing the amount of carbon and adding vanadium, molybdenum, etc., it improves hardness, wear resistance, and tempering. It is a steel with further improved resistance. Main uses include high-grade cutlery, scissors, pocket knives, medical instruments, food machinery, and machine parts. This is the steel material used, and we also use it in our stainless steel Japanese knives. But there are so many sizes of Deba that I don't know which one to buy. If you are in doubt, you can consider this size as a standard. If you want to catch relatively small fish, choose a small size. If you can handle big fish, go for the big size. This size can also be used as a guide. Also, I am forced to use a right-handed knife even though I am left-handed. Or if you are using it with your right hand, you can use it without stress. Deba knives rust quickly... This is a highly recommended item for those who have been shying away from it.
