Chef Knife

The chef's knife is the favorite knife of every professional and amateur cook, and not without reason. It has perhaps the most uses of any other kitchen knife, as you can use it to cut large portions, finely chop or dice vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and fish. Its wide blade and curved edge make it ideal for quick chopping through the well-known rocking motion. The thickness of the blade at the spine is enough to give you the weight and power you need, while its length covers a wide range of everyday tasks.

Blade Material

Every Japanese knife stands out primarily for its blade, and the Hammered features a blade with exceptional sharpness that lasts for a long time, without needing special maintenance.

It is made of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy at its core, which ensures exceptional hardness and durability. The VG10 is covered by two layers of soft stainless steel with 13% chromium content for easier sharpening and better knife protection.

Each Hammered knife is hand-sharpened by skilled Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15°, to deliver an incredibly sharp blade. The blade has a unique appearance and the surface is designed to highlight the forged construction of the knife, giving it a unique effect and character.

Its hardness level is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Comfortable wooden handle

The handle of this handmade knife honors the tradition of Japanese cuisine and is made of manolia wood, a hard and durable wood that is resistant to continuous and hard use, as well as to contact with food and kitchen materials. The round shape of the handle makes the use of the knife comfortable and practical from every angle, giving you ergonomics and absolute control during use. The wooden handle made of manolia wood has a simple appearance, harmoniously matching the metal of the blade and tightly binding it together with a resin collar.

Cutting Surface

It is recommended to perform cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.

For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a sheet of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be rough.

It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to repair possible damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.

    Although I am satisfied with the steel, everything else is not very good, which is why the low rating.
    Positives:
    - It maintains its sharpness if you pass it through a leather with a polishing compound on a daily basis, which is quite important.
    - The D-Shape of the handle suits me better than the European style and can be easily changed.
    - The width of the blade is just right so that your fingers don't hit the cutting board, but it is also wide enough to easily gather the cut vegetables with the knife.
    - It weighs 114-120 grams and is well balanced for some.
    - It is made of stainless parts, so it doesn't require much care with moisture.
    Negatives:
    - The blade is coated with a kind of plastic coating that makes initial cuts strangely difficult as the cut pieces stick to the knife and add thickness and friction. However, the coating easily comes off if it starts to peel.
    - The knife is sharpened at an angle that does not cut very well, and you need to pass it through a 600+ stone to create a new angle that complements the steel.
    - The handle needs sanding on its wooden part to match the black plastic, but if you are not familiar with this, it is better to replace the entire handle with a wooden one. The change is relatively easy.
    - The handle is lightweight, but everyone has different preferences in this area.
    Update: The steel does indeed hold up very well.
    With the new handle and removing the plastic coating that... for some reason exists, it cuts much better, but the food sticks more.
    I didn't like the previous handle and I replaced it with a heavier one, but you can understand why from the photos. The hexagonal handle suits me better
