Elegant, high quality, maximum efficiency, versatile Tamahagane Kengat knife. The Kengat blade design is essentially a Japanese version of a chef's knife, which will make this knife suitable for both professional and amateur chefs. Blade length 7.5"/190 mm. Tamahagana knives are made in Nigata, Japan, a region known for steel products. They are made in the traditional way but using modern techniques and modern technology. The beauty of the Tamahagan line lies in the intertwining of the steel layers - the boundary between the layers is formed by the elegant vintage that winds along the blade. The outer layers are polished in appearance. The blade is forged from VG-5 steel (61 HRC). The hardcore is coated in two layers of softer and stainless steel (SUS410 - between 28 and 32 HRC), which protects it from external factors and gives the knife flexibility. The grinding angle is between 14 and 15 degrees. The knife handle is made of light brown laminated wood (micarte). It is quite large for Japanese knives and provides a firm grip. Tamahagan knives are distinguished by the concept of good balance, as with high-end sports cars, the ideal weight distribution between the front and rear, ie between the blade and the handle, is 50:50. This was also a structural goal in the design of the Tamahagana knife line, which is immediately felt when the knife is gripped as the weight of the handle balances the weight of the blade. This makes the use of the knife comfortable for long work behind the kitchen counter. It is a knife characterized by durability, long-lasting sharpness, easy grinding, and a beautiful and simple design. At the same time, the knife is elegant, of high quality, maximally effective. It will inspire both home cooks as well as the most discerning professionals looking for the perfect balanced and durable blade. Made in Japan.
