It typically features a full or partial tang secured with rivets, often including a bolster that shifts the balance toward the handle. Its heavier construction allows for more forceful cuts and makes the knife highly durable and moisture-resistant. This handle is an excellent choice for cooks who prefer a solid, weighty feel in the hand and the classic Western cutting style.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"etsu-village-hammered-santoku-170mm","title":"Etsu Village Hammered Santoku 170mm (6.7\")","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rough translation of “Etsu” means happy, or better, self-satisfaction. It is indeed satisfying to cut veggies, meat, or fish with this Santoku with visible traces of hammer. Blacksmith Masutani is known as an incredibly good knife sharpener, and his knives are no different. With their very thin spine (around 1.8mm) these knives will slide through food with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of this Santoku is made of VG-1 stainless steel, a younger cousin of more wide-spread VG-10 steel. VG-1 steel is clad into a softer layer of stainless steel, where visible traces of hammer are left to give it a unique look. Compared to VG-10, VG-1 is slightly tougher steel, but with a bit less wear resistance. Due to a very thin grind, VG-1 steel is exposed at the very bottom of the blade (the curvy, hamon-like line). This knife was forged to a hardness of around 60 HRC, which offers a satisfying edge retention and is easy to resharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Santoku was fitted a yo-style, Western-type handle made of mahogany wood, and features a stainless bolster. The knife tang ends halfway through the handle, further reducing the weight of the knife and pushing the balance more towards the tip of the blade, like with wa-style, traditional Japanese handles. The handle will fit well in your hands for both the hammer and pinch grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, knives from Mr. Masutani offer a stunning price-performance ratio. They are a great choice for passionate home cooks who are starting to explore the beautiful world of Japanese knives.

Burja wind is typical for the Adriatic region. It is a cold, dry, strong and gusty northeast wind without which no prosciutto would ever be produced, no matter where in the world it is dried.

With its flat, thin and tall blade profile, it makes nakiri the best tool for the chopping technique.

Hamaguri grind allows superior sharpness that requires delicate handling and helps to prevent food from sticking to the blade. Such a shape keeps a lot of metal behind the edge and makes for a stronger edge, yet it still allows a good degree of sharpness. The downside to a convex grind is that it is very hard to reproduce by anyone other than a very experienced sharpener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupreme Hammered is a full-tang nakiri, attached to a beautiful, durable and unique-looking red pakkawood octagonal-shaped handle.

With their 800-year tradition of making knives, they decided to incorporate traditional knife craftsmanship knowledge into their own custom-made machines. Mcusta is the only knife manufacturer who uses laser machines to cut out the knives, instead of stamping the knives out of the steel sheet. Due to this process, their blades are less susceptible to structural stresses in the steel, making them the most innovative and modern knife maker in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHandles and pins are milled to the precision of 1\/1000mm with their high-quality CNC machines.
