Saji Petty VG-10 Gold RWO 135 mm este un mic cuțit de bucătărie japonez potrivit pentru prepararea cărnii, peștelui și legumelor. Cu toate acestea, ar fi o nedreptate să-l numim doar un cuțit de bucătărie, deoarece este un exemplu remarcabil de măiestrie a fierarului - de la designul său unic până la caracteristicile sale foarte specifice.

Cuțitele din seria Gold realizate de fierarul Takeshi Saji de la renumita cooperativă Takefu Knife Village capătă aspectul lor distinctiv dintr-un proces special de laminare în care alamă este adăugată la straturile exterioare pentru a obține un model de damasc de culoare aurie. Dar nu totul este vorba de aspect - Saji a optat pentru oțel VG-10 cu proprietăți inoxidabile și un conținut ridicat de carbon, rezultând o duritate de peste 61 HRC, ceea ce înseamnă că cuțitul va avea o tăiș extraordinar de fin.

Împreună cu o parte din magia maestrului fierar, acest cuțit este o piesă cu adevărat specială, care cu siguranță va impresiona. O completare excelentă la colecția oricărui pasionat de cuțite.

FORMA LAMEI:
Cuțitele mici sunt versiuni mai mici ale cuțitelor Gyuto (cuțitul bucătarului). Cuțitele mici sunt destinate tuturor acelor sarcini mai mici în care cuțitele mai mari sunt considerate greoaie. Pe și în afara plăcii de tăiat. Un cuțit indispensabil în fiecare bucătărie, poate fi folosit pentru curățarea, tocat, tocat și decorarea alimentelor.

OŢEL:
VG-10 (V pentru vanadiu, G pentru „aur” ca în „standardul de aur”) este fabricat de Takefu Special Steel Company, o companie relativ mică de oțel care acum aproximativ 60 de ani a reușit să găsească echilibrul potrivit de diferite elemente pentru a crea cel mai popular cuțit japonez care face oțel astăzi. Oțelul VG-10 este oțel inoxidabil cu conținut relativ ridicat de carbon (C) (1%), 15% crom (Cr), 1% molibden (Mo), 0,3% vanadiu (V) și 1,5% cobalt (Co). Combinația de Cr, Mo și V formează o mulțime de carburi dure, ceea ce face ca oțelul să fie rezistent la abraziune, ceea ce se traduce printr-o claritate netedă și de lungă durată.

LAMINARE:
Aspectul unic al lamei a fost obținut prin fixarea miezului lamei între straturi de oțel inoxidabil mai moale, rezistent la rugină, la care s-a adăugat alamă și cupru. Acest stil de laminare se mai numește și laminare san-mai . Rezultatul este un frumos model de damasc de culoare închisă a curcubeului, de la care aceste cuțite și-au luat numele. Totuși, aceasta nu este doar o caracteristică cosmetică, deoarece straturile exterioare îmbunătățesc integritatea structurală a cuțitului și ajută la prevenirea spargerii, precum și orice alte daune, cum ar fi coroziunea lamei.

GEOMETRIE:
Are o lamă dublă teșită (simetrică) cu măcinare hamaguri. Coloana vertebrală și coilul lamei sunt nelustruite.

FINISARE LAMEI:
Modelul frumos de damasc în tonuri aurii a fost obținut prin adăugarea de alamă la straturile de protecție exterioare ale lamei, iar lama a fost gravată în continuare pentru a crea aspectul întunecat unic al lamei.

MÂNER:
Mânerul din lemn de trandafir în stil japonez (Wa) este confortabil pentru utilizatorii dreptaci și stângaci, datorită formei sale octogonale.

☝️ Japanese kitchen knives in our store are handmade from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, weight and other dimensions are possible. We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.

Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:

✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.

❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.

on
Maintenance of Kitchen Knives.

Knives made of carbon steels can, due to their low chromium (Cr) content, discolor and develop patina. The knife is the most sensitive when it is still new and a patina had not developed yet, but later, patina will protect the blade. These types of knives require a touch more care. → For in-depth information about patina, read our dedicated post on patina.
