À propos de Masakage Kiri - 

Lorsque vous prenez le Kiri pour la première fois, vous remarquez à quel point il est léger. L'acier est martelé plus finement que votre couteau moyen, ce qui lui permet de trancher facilement les aliments denses comme les pommes de terre et les courges. Ce couteau est forgé à la main à partir de VG10, un acier inoxydable à haute teneur en carbone qui devient extrêmement tranchant et conserve un excellent tranchant sans nécessiter beaucoup d'entretien. L'acier central VG10 est laminé avec de superbes couches d'acier damassé, ce qui, combiné avec le manche japonais wa rouge et blanc, en fait un couteau MAGNIFIQUE. Vraiment, de l'art utilisable !

Yoshimi Kato est le gendre et successeur de Hiroshi Kato, l'un des fondateurs de Takefu Knife Village. La transition d'apprenti à maître forgeron et chef d'entreprise s'est déroulée sans heurts pour Yoshimi-san. Il me dit qu'il s'efforce d'améliorer continuellement ses compétences jour après jour, et j'ai hâte de travailler avec la prochaine génération de Kato pour les décennies à venir !

Yoshimi-san est un homme tranquille, avançant calmement à un rythme soutenu et s'exprimant davantage à travers ses couteaux qu'à travers ses mots. Et, oh, comme ils parlent ! Les couteaux de Yoshimi-san sont parmi les lames les plus magnifiques et les plus précises que j'aie jamais maniées.

À propos de la forme - Le Ko-Bunka est une version plus petite d'un Bunka. Des idées sur ce que "Ko" signifie en japonais ? Vous avez trouvé ! Cela se traduit par "petit". Ce petit couteau est génial car il vous offre toujours un dégagement pour les doigts sur la planche à découper. Il vous permet de hacher l'ail et de couper confortablement les légumes. Enfant terrible du Bunka et du couteau utilitaire, il convient aux petits travaux à la main ou comme lame polyvalente.

Une note sur les mesures : Les couteaux japonais faits à la main peuvent varier dans leurs dimensions, ces mesures ne sont donc qu'un exemple.


Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.
