HIGH SPEED STEEL HAP40

This Sukenari’s famous HAP40 hairline knife is now being made with the Damascus patterning and the mirror finish. Additionally, to the stunning pattern, the mirror finished will assist in cutting down on the reactivity of a semi-stainless steel. The Sukenari is just one of the few knife makers functioning with the HAP40 in Japan in doing the greatest jobs of grinding and heat treating. Heat treated to the staggering 68 hrc, the knives are not made for beginners. The remarkable edge retention has been accompanied by the equally impressive abrasion battle meaning that the whetstones manufactured for the use with the carbon steel and with low-alloy stainless steel can struggle to slice the carbides and the steel effectively. Having the diamond plate in the sharpening set up can be very crucial to exploiting on the advantages of these steels have to offer.

SAN MAI

The San-mai or lit. three sheets are the design of the manufacture common for the Japanese knives. The more practical translations are that the "three layers", referred to the central hardened steel having been jacketed with softer steel. This style of knife can be seen being pertained to as the "clad" or the "Kasumi", which had some overlapping with the same design of manufacture named as Ni-mai or the "two layers". The Ni-Mai is usually originated in the single bevel knife where softer steels are only on a side of a knife with the little portions spilling over to its other side.

ABOUT SUKENARI

The Sukenari was established during the Shōwa era in the ToyamaPrefecture and ever since the inception had been driven to create quality cutlery by hands-on craftsmanship in every step. The Sukenari philosophy is that several tools must function as the extension of oneself; this commitment to attributes showed in each surface of the knives from polished choil, rounded, and the edges to perfect grinds and the incredibly constant heat treat.

GYUTO CHEF KNIFE

This Gyuto or lit.cow sword has been thought as the adaptation of a French chef knife view for the Japanese bazaar. While the term “cow sword” can imply that the knife is just meant only for the meat, its adaptability is just similar with Santoku and may be utilized as the general-principle knife for any kind of task. Many will consider the Gyuto or the chef’s knife to become the one important knife for any type of kitchen with all the other knives being the secondary. When compared to the German style chef knives, the Gyuto will have that somewhat flattered profile: the outline lends itself well into push-cutting that is just ordinary for the Japanese chefs, as opposite to the rock-chopping. The Gyuto also is likely to be thinner at its edge with the spine than most of the European knives of chefs and as an outcome, have that less cross firmness and care must be taken not into torque a blade while they’re cutting to minimize its risk of chipping.
