Un bon couteau de chef est l'outil le plus important dans toute cuisine.
Les chefs professionnels décrivent souvent leurs couteaux comme une extension de leur corps. Sachant que les couteaux japonais sont mondialement connus, non seulement pour leur esthétique, mais aussi pour leur tranchant extrême, il n'est pas étonnant que tant de chefs du monde entier choisissent les couteaux de cuisine japonais avant tous les autres.
Kevin Kent, le Knifenerd, nous emmène dans les coulisses avec un regard personnel sur la vie, les compétences et l'art des forgerons qui fabriquent les meilleurs couteaux du monde. Les photographies primées de Visti Kjar transportent le lecteur dans les coulisses, dans les ateliers rarement vus, faiblement éclairés, suants, animés et historiques de certains des meilleurs forgerons du monde. Ressentez la chaleur intense de la forge, sentez le feu de charbon, entendez les coups assourdissants du marteau sur l'acier rougeoyant et voyez les étincelles voler.
De la forge et de l'affûtage au choix et à la collection, Kevin Kent transmet ses vastes connaissances et sa passion pour les couteaux japonais, notamment...
- raconter des histoires sur tous ses forgerons préférés
- expliquer en langage clair pourquoi les couteaux et l'acier japonais sont tout simplement meilleurs
- par où commencer votre voyage dans les couteaux japonais, y compris des explications sur les formes dont vous avez besoin chez vous
- Accompagné de magnifiques photos de Visti Kjar, prises dans les ateliers rarement vus des meilleurs forgerons du Japon.
- Opinions impopulaires sur l'acier de Damas.

The Knifenerd Guide to Japanese Knives
"Hi Folks. . . . . . I have used Japanese chisels and planes for 45 years in my career as a cabinetmaker. They are FABULOUS and a true joy to use. It's a true pleasure to read this book confirming the care and dedication that goes in to Japanese tools in general and knives in particular. It is a joy to connect with the wonderful folks at Knifeware who truly understand the intricacies and difficulties of making these amazing knives. This is a very informative book and well worth the time to understand why these really are the most amazing knives in the world. . . . . . . David Tamblyn"
Perfect gift for knife nerds
"Bought this as a gift for a knife nerd friend. He's read it twice already and can't say enough good things about it. Excellent work, Kevin & Visti!"
