À propos de la forme - Santoku signifie « Trois Vertus » ou « Résoudre Trois Problèmes ». Les trois vertus sont la viande, le poisson et les légumes, ou trancher, couper en dés et hacher, selon votre interprétation. Cela signifie que le Santoku est un couteau polyvalent, adapté aussi bien au cuisinier amateur qu'au chef professionnel. Sa hauteur offre un bon dégagement pour les grandes mains, tandis que la lame relativement courte peut être manipulée par n'importe qui.

À propos de Takamura Kurogouhan - Takamura Hamono (forgeron) se trouve dans le village de Takefu (Echizen) dans la préfecture de Fukui. Il est dirigé par le forgeron de 3ème génération Terukazu Takamura qui a hérité de l'atelier de son père Toshiyuki Takamura San. Avec plus de 30 ans d'expérience, ses lames sont connues pour leur tranchant extrêmement raffiné et durable.

Cette série de couteaux a été fabriquée avec le très apprécié VG-10, un acier inoxydable à haute teneur en carbone conçu spécifiquement pour la fabrication de couteaux ; il combine le tranchant, la robustesse et la résistance aux taches de la meilleure façon possible. Le manche est en bois de Pakka avec une mitre soudée et est pratiquement indestructible.

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.

Indepth on the Takamura Kurogouhan Migaki Santoku 165mm

  • Takamura Kurogouhan Migaki Santoku 165mm from Terukazu Takamura

    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.

Best knife I've ever used.

"Nice and sharp out of the box, the edge has held up great as of 2 months with weekly honing."

— Patrick L. (5/5)

Excellent knife!

"It's my first time owning a Japanese knife, and it's been night and day compared to my previous knives (ie. Homesense bought type of knives). It is extremely sharp which has made cutting vegetables easier and faster. The weight is perfect for me that it is not too heavy and not too light. My mom has 2 Shun knives already and will be purchasing this one next time she visits Ottawa. She loved it that much!"
