Japanese knives

Discover our premium quality Japanese knives. Japanese knives are among the most popular cooking and kitchen knives in the world. Japanese kitchen knives are characterised by their exceptional sharpness. The blades of Japanese kitchen knives are usually thinner and ground to a sharper angle than those of European kitchen knives. The prerequisite for this exceptional sharpness is the use of high-strength steels with a hardness of 57–64 HRC Rockwell. However, this requires careful handling and proper care. One of the best-known Japanese knives is the Santoku knife, which is the counterpart to the European kitchen knife. Santoku means ‘three virtues’ in Japanese, referring to the fact that the Santoku knife is ideal for preparing meat, fish and vegetables. Would you like to buy an extra sharp Japanese kitchen knife?
