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"

The Knifenerd Guide to Japanese Knives
"To put my review into context I am not a Chef, just a home cook. A couple of years ago I felt the need to upgrade my kitchen knives so bought a few. The ones I bought are from Wusthof and Zwilling, mostly European but also a Santoku and a Nakiri. All of thes knives are just fine. However it has spurned an inerest in just what other knives are out there. When I saw photos of Bunka and Kirisuke knives I have got to have one these bad boys. This brought about the purchase of this book. It is a good springboard into the jubject for a beginner like my self. I do query the fact that a substansial part of the book is given over to short biographies of knifemaking blacksmiths ( pages 40 to 201). Containrd within these pages are some interesing anectodes and some realy nice photos. However, having said that, any reader plannig a visit to Japan and hoping to make a purchase of some knives those pages could well be a valuabe source of information to help organise your trip. There are a few irritating typos that could easily be corrected for the next iteration of the book. One thing I would like to point out is the honing rod sketch on page 289. It shows the honing angle for Japanese knives as 15 degrees and European knives as 25 degrees. This is misleading as Wusthof's European style knives are 14 degrees and their Asian style knives are 10 degrees. Zwilling's European style knives are 15 degrees and their Asian style knives are 9 - 12 degrees. I can't speak for other Europeab knife manufacturers. Google would be a good place to start. In summary then, I like this book and think it would be a usefull addition to any knife collectors library. Uk buyers beware this book will cost you £51. 00 (my paypal account debit) I hope this helps John Ferguson Windsor, England"
