Product information
The knife maker Hideo Kitaoka in Takefu, Fukui Province, specializes in the production of high-quality kitchen knives. For the cutting edge, only the so-called „White Paper Steel,” a carbon steel with high hardness and comparatively low brittleness, is used. The outer layers consist of multiple layers of Damascus steel, called „Suminagashi” in Japan. The hardness of the knives is over 60 HRC. These knives are not stainless! The handles are made of fine sandalwood, and the ferrule is made of buffalo horn.
Depending on the translation rule applied, also called „Matuba.” A small all-purpose knife for anyone who has ever wanted a small traditional knife for all smaller tasks in the kitchen! Beveled on the right side only, therefore suitable only for right-handed users.
