À propos de Masashi Kokuen -  Le cœur de cette lame est fait d'acier SLD dur revêtu d'acier inoxydable plus souple, que Masashi-san peut pousser à la limite absolue de dureté grâce à son impressionnante habileté et à quelques techniques top-secrètes. En termes simples, cela signifie qu'ils conservent un tranchant incroyablement aiguisé pendant longtemps, mais nécessitent beaucoup moins d'entretien que les lames traditionnelles en acier au carbone. Il aiguise les lames d'une manière unique, rendant l'extrémité arrière plus robuste pour hacher et la pointe plus précise pour le travail délicat.

La finition foncée du Kokuen lui donne son nom. Signifiant « fumée noire » en japonais, le Kokuen est inspiré par l'atmosphère de l'atelier de Masashi.

Après s'être formé avec son frère chez Yoshikane, puis s'être lancé seul, Masashi Yamamoto poursuit sans relâche la création d'un couteau parfait en utilisant les techniques traditionnelles transmises dans sa famille et augmentées par une compréhension moderne de la métallurgie. C'est aussi un dur à cuire certifié, forgeant en tongs et allumant des cigarettes avec de l'acier incandescent comme un héros d'action des années 80. 

À propos de la forme - Inspirés par le profil d'un couteau de chef européen traditionnel, les Gyutos sont des couteaux polyvalents avec une légère préférence pour la découpe de viande. « Gyuto » se traduit par « épée de vache ». Si vous voulez un couteau pour tout faire, c'est celui-ci. Commençant à 180 mm, les Gyutos peuvent atteindre la longueur ridiculement longue (et impressionnante) de 370 mm. Pour le cuisinier à domicile ou professionnel, nous recommandons un Gyuto mesurant entre 210 mm et 270 mm de long.

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.


A NOTE ABOUT RUST

Semi-stainless steel is a compromise between the edge retention of carbon steel
and the rust resistance of stainless. This steel will rust if you let it. To avoid “bad” rust (orange rust) Wipe the knife dry with a dry cloth after use. By this we mean: between cutting and putting the knife down, wipe it dry. Overtime the blade will begin to protect itself with an oxide layer (grey to dark grey “good” rust), this will slow the reaction time but not inhibit the rust entirely. Maintain the good habit of drying off your knife.

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 mineral oil or beeswax.  

• If you see orange rust, remove it. The scrubby side of a sponge can do the trick.  If it’s still not coming off try baking soda and water mixed into a paste or a product called Barkeeper’s Friend.  

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 travel case. 

• A 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, keep the edge from touching anything else.

Amazing knife

"This is truly an amazing specimen of craftmanship and cutlery art. The knife is balanced, thick near the handle and razor thin at the point, perfect both in shape, size and weight. if you are looking for the perfect knife that can do it all, this is it! On top of it all, it is gorgeous: from the handle to the tip. Thanks to the knifewear staff, awesome as always."

Great! Probably not for beginners tho

"Its an amazing knife, very sharp, beautiful, very thin at the edge and it feels amazing. Buuuut you probably shouldnt get this knife if you are comoletely new to using japanese knives as the edge is very delicate because of its thinness. If you think you can be carefull enough go ahead and buy it tho xD its a blast to use"

— Marco H. (5/5)

Quickly became my favourite knife

"I finally decided to pick up a Masashi KOKUEN knife when Masashi-san came to Ottawa after years of looking at them. The weight balance on this knife is fantastic with a beefier blade towards the handle then tapering down to a fine tip. Great for fine tip work then get down to some serious chopping. Should NOT have waited this long!"

— Jason C. (5/5)

$500 dollar knife
