If you work in a kitchen, these knives are for you. Mikuri makes dependable workhorse knives, something every chef needs.⁠ ⁠ While I’ve collected many handmade masterpieces over the years, I always had a dependable blade like this in my kit. It wasn’t the prettiest or the sharpest, but it was the most reliable knife I had. I could slice through cases of veg, trim tenderloins, and fillet salmon with it. I could lend it to a fellow cook without fearing they’d f*ck it up, and I could put it away wet without coming back to a rusty knife the next day.⁠ ⁠ Mikuri knives start with that exact purpose: the need for a durable daily driver—a trusty steed for the demanding jobs found in a professional kitchen. ⁠ ⁠ The line is entirely stainless steel, but they use two different types: tough yet sharp VG5 for the workhorse blades and DSR1K6 stainless for the 135mm Petty and Sujihiki. This gives these blades a little flex, so they’re perfect for trimming meat and filleting fish.⁠ ⁠ The whole line comes in both Western and Japanese handles, so there's something for everyone!⁠ ⁠ $120-220 CAD, link in the bio.⁠ ⁠ #mikuri #mikuriknives #knifewear #industrymonday #yycchef #yegchef #vancouverchef #ottawachef #torontochef #kniferoll #chefroll #chefs #yycrestaurants⁠ #yegrestaurants #vancouverrestaurants #ottawarestaurants #torontorestaurants #chefsofinstagram #chef #cooking #culinary #cheflife #chefstalk #cook #knifefanatics #knives #madeinjapan #michelinstar
