KNIFE CARE

The basic principle of maintaining stainless steel knives is to wipe them dry. Leaving a wet knife to dry on its own will result in the appearance of small spots of rust. It is completely unacceptable to wash the knives in a dishwasher, chemicals and high temperature will negatively affect the handle and the blade, it can also lead to permanent damage to the knife. The knife is used only for cutting soft, boned and non-frozen products. If the blade comes into contact with the bone, it can chip. When cutting, do not twist the knife from side to side, as it may break the tip if the knife is jammed in the product. The wood and plastic boards recommended by us, cutting on glass or stone boards is prohibited, it will lead to an accelerated process of blunting the knife and possible nicks. The knife should only be used as a cutting tool, the thin, sharp design perfectly cuts the products, but when you try to open the jars, the blade may chip.

Japanese high speed steel produced by Naji Fujikoshi. It is known as one of Japan's first powder "super steels". It is gaining more and more popularity among Japanese knife makers. It is used by, inter alia, Master Takeshi Saji, who uses his over 50 years of experience in working with them. The growing interest is certainly due to the excellent strength properties. It is extremely resistant to abrasion, thanks to which it keeps sharpness even at small sharpening angles of the cutting surface. Usually it is hardened to about 64 HRC, although it is an impressive hardness, the steel itself could be hardened even higher, but it is not being done to keep the steel more resistant to chipping. Due to its high strength properties, it is not a particularly plastic steel, to improve it SRS-13 is often used as a core in knives laminated with amphibians (more plastic steel). Due to the high content of chromium, it is stainless.
