Japanese Kitchen Knives – Effortless Food Preparation

If you're looking for the sharpest knives available, the Japanese kitchen knife might just be the one for you.

Japanese knives are noticeably thinner and more lightweight than European chef knives, and provide an unrivalled level of precision. With a Japanese kitchen knife, you can make light work of any type of food preparation. The thinness of the blade allows you to make clean cuts, whilst also preserving the flavour of ingredients.

Japanese knives typically use a harder blade steel and a small cutting angle (15 degrees as opposed to 20 degrees), meaning they are the perfect knife for use in a busy kitchen.

A Japanese knife is only sharpened on one side, with the non-sharpened side designed to stop foods sticking to the blade. Also, these knives retain their edge for longer. This is due to the hardness of the steel of the blade.

Japanese kitchen knives are expertly crafted too. Not only are they high in function, but they are also beautiful designs and will add a touch of elegance to your kitchen.

Loved by cooking enthusiasts all over the world, from world class chefs to cooking hobbyists, your Japanese knife will become one of your favourite kitchen tools.
