À propos de Masashi Kaijin -
Le cœur de la lame est fait d'acier VS1 dur, revêtu d'acier inoxydable plus doux. Grâce à un processus de traitement thermique spécial, Masashi-san peut rendre le VS1 incroyablement dur, lui conférant une rétention de coupe comparable à celle des aciers au carbone haut de gamme. Il aiguise les lames d'une manière unique, rendant l'arrière plus robuste pour le hachage et la pointe plus précise pour les travaux délicats.
L'apparence texturée du Kaijin lui donne son nom, qui se traduit par «cendre» et fait référence au processus de forgeage traditionnel utilisé par Masashi. Normalement, les forgerons doivent surchauffer le couteau pour obtenir ce type de finition, ce qui peut altérer la qualité du couteau, mais Masashi-san est capable de le faire de manière contrôlée, à basse température, sans affecter l'acier.
Après s'être formé avec son frère chez Yoshikane, puis s'être lancé à son compte, Masashi Yamamoto poursuit sans relâche la création du 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 sur de l'acier incandescent comme un héros d'action des années 80.
À propos de la forme -C'est aussi un couteau polyvalent, mais avec une légère préférence pour les légumes. Santoku signifie « Trois Vertus » ou « Résoudre Trois Problèmes ». Les vertus ou problèmes sont la découpe, le ciselage et le hachage. Le Santoku se trouve généralement dans des longueurs de 160 mm à 190 mm. Ils sont de plus en plus populaires dans les cuisines occidentales en raison de leur forme unique et de leur taille plus petite, facile à manipuler.

All you could wish
"First class service for a first class product. Excellent."
Kaijin santoku
"Very nice knife, I love the size and shape, has a very nice weight, great all purpose knife"
Super knife!!!!
"This is a beautifully made knife with amazing craftsmanship!! The blade is stunning and reminds me of the patterns you see when you are on a frozen lake! It holds it edge and is amazingly sharp! I have never ever used anything this sharp before! It is a small but mighty knife! Perfect for those medium jobs or for someone who is a bit nervous of a longer blade. This is a must have knife!!"
The Great Japanese Knife
"This knife deserves all the accolades it receives. Not only is it weighted beautifully and crafted to perfection, it looks amazing! To cap it off I had the opportunity to have it engraved by the blacksmith himself. Amazing!"
The Best Knife I've Ever Held
"This knife is a joy to work with. Not only does it treat every vegetable like butter, but it looks gorgeous and holds it's edge brilliantly. I love using this blade and teaching my kids how to cut properly with something so effortless."
Love this knife!
"The guys at 9th Ave location were super helpful. I love that this knife is easier to care for - doesn’t rust as easy as some of my other knives."
Sanjo perfection
"If you are a fan of Yoshikane knives or any other maker from the Sanjo region you will love what Masashi is doing with this line. Super sharp out of the box and a pleasure to prep with."
Just a truly incredible knife
"This is knife after using it just a few times has instantly become my favorite knife. The santoku glides through everything, and love the low maintenance of the knife as well. I will absolutely be buying another one of his knives in future."
Great knife
"I have a Global knife and this is my first Japanese knife. The difference between the two is very significant. The fit and finish is great and it cuts incredibly well. It has become one of my most prized possessions."
Q&A
- Any idea when this knife will be back in stock? Thanks
- Hey Taylor, we are expecting those in the first part of this year, so hopefully in late Jan or Feb. Are you on the back in stock lists for the ones you want? - Ellie
- Hey will the VS1 in this blade patina with time?
- This knife is semi stainless with stainless cladding so it will take longer to patina than a carbon knife but it will eventually
