The key is of course the functional ones, but it has nevertheless resulted in a visually impressive knife with many details such as the beaten tsuchime surface on the upper half of the blade, the clear transitions between the 65 layers of steel the knife is forged from. The stock, which is made of American walnut wood, is also pampered.
The knife here is a chef's knife of 20 cm, which is probably the most popular size. It is a very versatile knife that can handle most universal needs. Use it both to cut vegetables and meat.

A knife is not just a knife
- and that's why you should have the knife in your hands and try it before you make your decision.
You can read a lot on the internet about different knives and the manufacturers behind them, but you can never really know how the individual knife feels exactly for you.
The cornerstone of the way we advise on knives is therefore that you can always get the knife in your hand and try cutting with it in our shop, and thus get a good sense of whether the knife has the right comfort, weight, thickness, cutting properties a et cetera.
This also means that you get a unique opportunity to compare knives from different manufacturers directly against each other.
