While the name cow sword would imply that this knife is meant only for meat, its versatility is the same as a santoku, and can be used as a general-purpose knife for any task. Many consider a gyuto or chef's knife the one essential knife for any kitchen with all other knives being secondary. Compared to a German-style chef's knife, a gyuto will have a somewhat flatter profile: this profile lends itself well to push-cutting which is common for Japanese chefs, as opposed to rock-chopping. Gyuto also tend to be thinner at the edge and the spine than most European chef's knives and as a result, have less lateral toughness and care should be taken not to torque the blade while cutting to minimize the risk of chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ajimisaku","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40268262015066,"sku":"90022","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/files\/90022a.jpg?v=1753397356"},{"product_id":"ikkaku-donryu-molybdenum-gyuto-180mm-7-1","title":"Ikkaku Donryu Molybdenum Gyuto 180mm (7.1\")","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis rust-resistant gyuto is a good value for both home and professional cooks.

This sturdy tool features a fixed flat blade for regular slicing and comes with three interchangeable vertical blades for julienning, shredding, and thread-cutting. For regular slicing, simply ensure no julienne blade is inserted. You can easily adjust the thickness of each slice. The safety guard will help prevent finger injuries.

In addition, the Super Benriner has a larger handle for better control as well as a rubberized end-stop to keep it in place on the countertop and finally, the screw that adjusts the width is much larger and less prone to creeping open than the screw on the original Benriner. With its rubberized end-stop and slot in the bottom, you can use any sized container for the Super Benriner. For the Benriner, this Sushi pan or anything under 11\" width can be placed underneath the slicer to catch the sliced veggies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Plastic, stainless steel, and rubber for Non-Skid Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 14.3\" x 5.1\" x 1.8\" ht (36cm x 13cm x 4.7cm ht)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Finger Safety guard, Fixed Flatblade, interchangeable Fine (54 teeth), Medium (25 teeth), and Coarse (10 teeth) julienne blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlice thickness (adjustable): 0.5mm - 8.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BKf9y3jS6co\"\u003eThis video\u003c\/a\u003e can walk you through how to detach the blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/files\/90549-Benriner95.pdf?v=1698859441\" class=\"button\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e❏ Product Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSpare Blades\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/replacement-flat-blade-for-benriner-professional-series-95\"\u003eFlat Blade (SKU:90896)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/replacement-fine-julienne-blade-for-super-benriner\"\u003eFine Julienne Blade (SKU:90897)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/replacement-medium-julienne-blade-for-super-benriner\"\u003eMedium Julienne Blade (SKU:96304)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/replacement-coarse-julienne-blade-for-super-benriner\"\u003eCoarse Julienne Blade (SKU:91581)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eNotes\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease be aware that not all vegetables can be sliced easily with the julienne attachments.

A synthetic stone with a high degree of uniform abrasion, the Shapton needs no soaking. Compared to other synthetic stones, it creates an edge faster and doesn't wear down as quickly. So the Shapton glass stone makes shaping your knife easier and more convenient. And even when the abrasive surface becomes paper-thin, this stone still performs, thanks to its sturdy glass backing plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShapton glass stones are also engineered to produce no odor, unlike regular whetstones, which can leave an unpalatable odor on knives unless they're carefully cleaned.

The #16000 is a great alternative to steel because it is more gentle on your blade, and results in a more resilient edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three stones slot into the field holder so you can take them with you anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/t\/3\/assets\/description_image_ShaptonStones.pdf?v=1685109409\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn about Shapton in English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/t\/3\/assets\/description_image_ShaptonStonesJapanese.pdf?v=1685109411\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn about Shapton in Japanese\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow to Use Shapton Glass Stone\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBefore Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soaking required – Unlike traditional whetstones, Shapton stones require little to no soaking before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplash water onto the surface before sharpening.

With many knives that focus on the initial edge, Nenohi thought about how they could create a knife that is durable and can answer the demands of a modern kitchen. A balance must be struck between a very thin, performance-driven blade and a much thicker western-style blade used for heavy chopping tasks. We have struck what we believe is an ideal middle ground with a knife that can perform delicate knife cuts with ease but also stand up to the heavier tasks at hand in a professional environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe that Haku will perform to your expectations regardless of how or what you are using the knife for.

While the name cow sword would imply that this knife is meant only for meat, its versatility is the same a santoku and can be used as a general-purpose knife for any task. Many would consider a gyuto or chef's knife to be the one essential knife for any kitchen with all other knives being secondary. Compared to a German style chef's knife, a gyuto will have a somewhat flatter profile: this profile lends itself well to push-cutting which is common for Japanese chefs, as opposed to rock-chopping. Gyuto also tend to be thinner at the edge as well as the spine than most European chef's knives and as a result, have the less lateral toughness and care should be taken not to torque the blade while cutting to minimize the risk of chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nenohi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40268284428378,"sku":"90023","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/products\/90023__74010.1635859425.1280.1280.jpg?v=1753397276"},{"product_id":"takamura-santoku-170mm","title":"Takamura SG2 Santoku 170mm (6.7\")","description":"\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBrand:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/pages\/takamura-knives\"\u003eTakamura Cutlery\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e Santoku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/span\u003e 170mm (6.7\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e 5.12 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBlade Steel Type:\u003c\/span\u003e R2\/SG2 Powdered Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e Migaki (Hairline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHRC:\u003c\/span\u003e 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBevel Angle Ratio:\u003c\/span\u003e 50\/50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/span\u003e Resin-Treated Compressed Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCover:\u003c\/span\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCaution\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakamura knives have unusually sharp edges, so if you are not a professional chef or do not have confidence in your knife skills, they may not be suitable for you.
