About the Shape - Shallots, garlic, herbs, itty bitty diced onion and tomato, beef tartare… none can stand up to the small but mighty Kamagata. The flatness along the edge and its height makes it ideal for chopping, and its flat-out adorable size makes it easy to wield for cooks of all sizes.
This item is made to order, and arrives within 15-20 days within Canada.
About Masakage Zero - The Masakage Zero line is top notch, a high performance knife combining unbelievable sharpness and pure hotness. These blades make people stop in their tracks to catch a second look, with a handle of Ironwood (one of the world's hardest woods), pinned with a mosaic in the shape of a chrysanthemum — the Zero plays second fiddle to no knife.
Aogami Super is the king of knife steel - super easy to sharpen, gets a laser beam edge, cuts like silk and is very rugged for its hardness - It’s called SUPER for a reason. The outer layer is stainless steel, making this knife very easy to maintain.
