Tadafusa Hocho, Nakiri - Usuba (Vegetable Knife)

Description

Light Japanese kitchen knives from the traditional Tadafusa smithy. The high-contrast blade consists of a total of 35 layers of Suminagashi steel. High-purity White Paper Steel is used for the cutting layer, which can be ground extremely finely. The oval handle made of thermally treated* chestnut wood is completed with a black synthetic ferrule. Double bevel, not rustproof. Hardness 63 HRC.

* Thermic wood: Under the effect of heat (170-250 °C) and steam the wood structure is changed and improved for special uses (e.g. in the kitchen) in a targeted and natural way without adding any chemicals. During the special treatment process, the cell wall structure is modified in such a way that the ability to absorb water is reduced and the resistance against bacteria is increased. The thermal treatment also lends the wood a slightly darker tone.
