À propos de Masutani -  Masutani Hamono produit des couteaux de cuisine de haute qualité depuis quatre générations dans la ville d'Echizen. Leur objectif est de créer des lames de haute qualité à un prix abordable pour tous, et ils ont réussi. Leurs lames sont très accessibles et coupent comme un rêve, étant façonnées, polies et manipulées avec amour par le grand-père, le père et le fils. 

Travailler avec des aciers inoxydables tels que le VG10 et le VG1 garantit qu'ils prennent et gardent un tranchant aussi bien que certains des couteaux japonais plus sophistiqués, mais ne sont pas aussi fragiles ou sujets à la rouille que les couteaux en acier à haute teneur en carbone. Cela renforce leur accessibilité, en faisant un outil précieux pour quiconque souhaite améliorer sa trousse de cuisine. Généralement finis avec un manche riveté de style occidental, appelé "poignée yo" au Japon, ils procurent une sensation de confiance sans être aussi lourds que de nombreux couteaux de style occidental. Ils sont bien équilibrés pour les professionnels, les cuisiniers amateurs et même les chefs à la retraite épuisés comme moi.

À propos de la forme - Il s'agit également d'un couteau polyvalent, mais avec une légère préférence pour les légumes. Santoku signifie « Trois Vertus » ou « Résoudre Trois Problèmes ». Les vertus ou problèmes sont trancher, couper en dés et hacher. Le Santoku se trouve généralement dans des longueurs de 160 mm à 190 mm. Ceux-ci sont de plus en plus populaires dans les cuisines occidentales en raison de leur forme unique et de leur taille plus petite et facile à manipuler.

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.

Indepth on the Masutani VG1 Tsuchime Western Santoku 165mm

  • Masutani VG1 Tsuchime Western Santoku 165mm from Masutani

    Santoku

    This is also a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.

Reviews

The perfect knife for the home chef

"This knife is SO sharp - it genuinely makes cooking more fun. It certainly makes cooking faster, and when it's easier to chop and slice you can make the cuts thinner and faster, so it actually tastes better too."
