Description

It has a rustic beauty, Sanjo Kawamura Carbon steel Santoku knife.

For 50 years, Master Kawamura has manufactured handmade knives in his workshop. His work was broadcast by national TV channel NHK.

Mr. kawamura is currently in his 70s and has no successor, so his knives are expected to become rare in the future.

Forged enough to perform maximum steel quality, and the shape is beautiful as an art. Shirogami carbon steel is not stainless. To avoid oxidation, please wash and dry after use.

  1. Blade  : The edge of carbon steel called Shirogami is integrated in stainless steel. Shirogami is a steel manufactured by Hitachi Metals used for traditional Japanese knives. It is easy to rust, but it is sharp and easier to sharpen than a stainless steel knife.

  2. Handle : Chestnut wood with plastic in classic shape (For use with right hand).

Maintenance

  • Keep clean and dry after use.
  • Do not use for any frozen foods or bones.
  • Not recommend to clean in dishwasher.

I’m happy that I got the Santoku today in perfect condition. I already tested it with various vegetables and boneless chicken meat and the cut is so clean that it shines. I’m now a proud owner of a pair of Kawamura knives and this surely helps me to get to the next level of cooking. Many thanks again for your excellent service and Mr. Kawamura for making these pieces of art.

I received the package a moment ago.

I am very happy with the knife. It is a thing of beauty and will bring pleasure when I use it. I now have both your Kawamura knives and that is a nice thing to have. They are very special.
