VG10 three-layer steel

研ぎやすい三層鋼の芯材には本職の料理人にも愛用されているVG10材を使用。高硬度のステンレス刃物鋼に、切れ味の持続性を高めるモリブデンとバナジウム、コバルトが添加されています。

With water grind blade

The traditional "water-abrasive blade attachment" by Tsubamesanjo craftsmen creates a clam-shaped blade edge.
There is little resistance when cutting ingredients, and good separation is achieved.
燕三条の職人による伝統的な「水砥刃付け」によりはまぐり形状の刃先を作り出します。
食材を切る際の抵抗が少なく、切離れの良さを実現します。

Weight design

For streaky meat, large vegetables, and hard foods, the weight and center of gravity balance have been optimized so that the cuts are lighter due to the weight of the blade.
筋のある肉、大きな野菜、硬い食材も、刀身の重量感で切込みが軽くなるよう重量と重心バランスを最適化しました。

Handle shape

The handle is thin and the bottom of the handle is thick, making it easy to grip and transmit power. The curved shape created by hand polishing by craftsmen is carefully finished so that it fits in your hand.
柄元は細く、柄尻は太くなっており、握りやすく力が伝えやすい形状です。職人の手磨きによる曲線形状は、手になじむよう丁寧に仕上げられています。
