Unlike the traditional Japanese wooden handle, the black handle is not inserted, but completely surrounds the blade, so that the blade is firmly connected to the handle and on the other hand no dirt accumulates.

SANTOKU Santoku translates to three benefits. The Santoku is the traditional Japanese shape for a utility knife, comparable to European chef's knives. The term three advantages derive from the universal application possibilities when cutting fish, meat and vegetables. II. NAKIRI Nakiri means translated: Vegetable Cutter The Nakiri blade shape is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, which is mainly used for cutting all vegetables. Despite its hatchet shape, it is not suitable for cutting bones. III. Yanagiba Yanagiba means translated: Willow Leaf Blade The Yanagiba is used as a traditional Japanese slicing knife. Thanks to the narrow, long blade, the knife is particularly suitable for wafer-thin cuts, which are specially used in the sushi and sashimi kitchen. The knife guarantees an artistic - but above all also clean, smooth cut. Length and shape of the cutting edge allow a long, pulling cutting action. IV. DEBA Deba means protruding blade. The Deba is traditionally used as a Japanese hatchet. The sturdy, heavy knife has a strong, wide blade and has a one-sided cut. The front part of the blade is mainly used for filleting fish. The rear part of the blade is stronger and is used for cutting smaller chicken bones and bones. Care instructions KAI knives require a certain care, so that you can enjoy the knife and sharpness permanently. Before using our knives for the first time, you should rinse them with hot water. After each use of the knives, you should make sure that the knives are rinsed immediately after use without aggressive detergent and dried with a soft cloth. For your own protection, you should always wipe the knife from the back of the blade with a dishcloth or towel. Especially aggressive substances such as lemon juice should be rinsed immediately after use. Never put the knives in the dishwasher. This affects not only the material, but also the sharpness of the cutting edge. Do not use glass or granite plates as a cutting mat. These are easy to maintain, but ruin the cutting edge even with the hardest steel. Use only wooden boards (preferably head) or plastic cutting pads with medium strength. When cutting, always make sure that the blade does not hit hard materials. The blade may be damaged when cutting bones, frozen food or similar hard objects. For knives with a natural wood handle, you should make sure that they do not stay in the water for too long. Oil the handle with a little neutral vegetable oil from time to time. When storing the knives, make sure that the blade never comes into contact with other metallic objects. So you can avoid the cutting edge getting damaged. Store the knives either in a knife block, a wooden drawer insert, on a wall magnetic board or in a wooden sheath in the Japanese blade shapes. Sanding instructions Blades ground on one side a. First place the ground side of the blade on the whetstone. b. Start at the blade tip. Pull the knife at an angle of 45° over the whetstone by moving the blade toward and away from the body with light pressure. Repeat this process until a fine burr is felt. c. Turn the knife. Now place the hollow-ground blade side flat on the whetstone and continue grinding - but only approx. 1/10 as many times as you sanded the knife on the opposite side d. Rinse the knife and whetstone carefully with hot water. Before using the whetstone, it should be completely soaked in water for about 10 minutes. Please make sure that there is always a slight film of water on the surface of the stone during grinding. In this way, sufficient cooling is also ensured on the blade edge. a. Place one side of the blade on the whetstone b. Start at the blade tip. Pull the knife at an angle of approx. 15° over the whetstone by moving the blade toward and away from the body with light pressure. Repeat this process until a fine burr is felt c. Turn the knife and proceed to grinding the other side of the blade as described above. Make sure you use the same number of strokes on both sides. It is also important that the angle is always maintained so that a symmetrically ground blade is created d.
