Hello, I'm Hirose, the manager.

In this blog, I'll mainly introduce the knives we handle at our store.

For this memorable first post, I'm featuring a knife made by Mr. Katayama, a craftsman from Echizen City in Fukui Prefecture.

The knife I'm introducing today is the Damascus Wa-Santoku Knife crafted by Mr. Katayama:

- Wa-Santoku, Katayama-made, Damascus, Octagonal Handle, 170mm

Katayama Uchihamono in Echizen City is renowned not only for its knives but also for its chef's knives, which are highly praised by culinary professionals nationwide. These knives are not just about sharpness; they also offer durability.

The blade features a "Tsuchime" (hammered) finish, which helps prevent food from sticking to the knife. Furthermore, the handle is octagonal, fitting comfortably in the hand and potentially reducing the stress of daily cooking tasks.

This product is currently available for sale at our store and online.
