But sometimes you need serrations to cut super crusty sourdough loaves or freshly baked French baguettes. This is really just for cutting bread, not your tomatoes!

Not only known as a traditional centre for tool and knife forging, but also for the finest sake Japan has to offer. Great booze AND knives? Let’s go! The core of the blade is made from a hard SLD steel but is clad in softer stainless steel. The softer, stainless steel acts like a cushion and protects the harder steel.\u003cbr\u003eThese Tadafusa knives were developed by Fumie Shibata, a female industrial designer who sought out input from the female perspective. They feature a tapered tang for a great balance, the handle is made from semi-charcoaled chestnut wood which helps make it very sanitary and corrosion resistant, and no, they aren’t just for ladies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tadafusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5273795332,"sku":"TAH230BR","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/hocho-kobo-breadknife-1-6c31e8b3-8624-445d-acde-b5844a8c5673.jpg?v=1743609122"},{"product_id":"taylor-digital-folding-thermometer","title":"Taylor Digital Folding Thermometer","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaylor's compact, folding thermometer is super functional, easy to clean and does not get in the way in your kitchen drawer.

It has become very popular in the west recently and is essential for making katsu or tamago sandwiches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhen most people think about things that are made in Japan, the idea is that they are made with the same level of care for everything, be it a single screw or a multimillion-dollar car.  Matsunaga is a company that leans into the “Made In Japan” ethos.  From their small factory in Tokyo, they strive to put as much thought into their products as possible, accounting for every little detail.  This becomes really clear when you take a look at the Shokupan Loaf Pan.  The folded rim features a thick wire to prevent the shape distorting, even at high heat; the base features a dimpled finish to help the loaf release from the bottom rather than getting stuck. You might not think about these finishing touches when you think of Shokupan, but Matsunaga did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"315\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vaRhUtpg684?si=Ccpgk32QIGaXdsVk\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matsunaga Seisakusho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270696087726,"sku":"MS224","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/MatsunagaSeisakushoShokupanBreadLoafPanwithLid1.jpg?v=1790090147"}],"url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/en-au\/collections\/shokupan.oembed","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
