Ever since we first started to offer Kanetsugu knives to our customers, back in 2006, we have received many positive comments about Kanetsugu’s knives. Our customers especially praise the sharpness, cutting performance and high standard of manufacturing. The secret behind these words of praise is, of course, Kanetsugu’s original convex edge geometry.
Mr. Kawamura always makes an extra effort to explore new paths that might enable him to improve knife quality, or to better satisfy the needs and wishes of his worldwide customers.
We are excited to reveal Kanetsugu’s new line of knives, which are the product of their vision and passion.
This new Upgraded Version has a Classic Hammered Finish and a San-Mai (Three-layer) Blade, which is made with a VG-10 Cobalt Stainless Steel core that is sandwiched between soft, corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel. The San-Mai blade has been beautifully mirror polished to add elegance to the natural character of the Hammered Tsuchime Texture and give this Wa (Japanese-style) knife a more modern style.
The Heptagonal (Seven-sided) Brown Pakka Wood Handle has a Black Pakka Wood Ferrule and excellent fit and finish. The stylish shape of the Wa (Japanese-style) handle perfectly matches the Classic Hammered Finish of the San-Mai blade.
Kanetsugu uses their own modern manufacturing technologies to create these practical Wa knives and high-quality handles, which are water-resistant, crack-resistant and easy to clean.
We believe Kanetsugu have successfully captured the latest knife trends and met their worldwide customer’s needs and preferences by creating these new, finely-made, “Kanetsugu Classic Hammered Wa Series” knives.
These knives are made with all of Kanetsugu’s experience, craftsmanship and passion, we believe they will become one of the best value-for-money knives among our collection.
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife. Compared to a Western-style handle, the lightweight traditional Japanese handle of the Wa Santoku knife moves the balance point of the knife further towards the tip, which makes it feel more nimble and precise.
