Japanese Kitchen Knives: Essential Characteristics and Types for Every Chef

KAI presents the new Shun Classic Red DM-0717RD as a highlight. The exclusive Wide Santoku combines the proven qualities of the Shun Classic series with a new and elegant red grain pakkawood handle in a limited edition. The knife is limited to only 3,000 pieces worldwide. The serial number engraved on the bolster makes each knife unique and desirable as a collector's item.

The extremely sharp blade is made of an extremely hard VG-MAX steel core with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC and is coated with 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination ensures an extremely stable, hard, and yet flexible blade, ideal for a clean and precise cut. The blade is ground on both sides and is particularly lightweight, making it easier to use in the kitchen.

As with the regular knives of the Shun Classic series, the special red grain handle of the Shun Classic Red is made of pakkawood. The treatment with selected resins makes it extremely soft, elastic, durable, and moisture-resistant. Thanks to the traditional Japanese "chestnut" shape of the handle, the Wide Santoku fits comfortably in the hand during cutting and offers a firm grip.

The core of Kaname blades is made of an extremely durable VGXeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, rolled in two layers of stainless steel. The special manufacturing method ensures an incredibly thin cutting edge that reduces friction during use. This results in excellent and durable sharpness, promoting filigree, smooth and precise cuts.

To best design the handle, we combined the experiences of professionals and consumers. The result is a black-grained pakkawood handle that creates a seamless transition from the handle to the tang. The octagonal, ergonomic shape of the handle provides good control while cutting, while the knife rests securely and comfortably in the hand.

Renkei (連携) is a Japanese term that means collaboration, coordination, or connection. It is used to express the idea of working together, in close cooperation, to achieve a common goal or to create synergies between different people or organizations.

This project, born from the collaboration between Coltelleria Collini in Busto Arsizio and Coltelleria Due Cigni in Maniago, is an excellent example of synergy between two Italian companies specializing in the world of cutlery.

The Japanese VG10 steel used in this project, laminated to 67 layers and produced by Takefu Steel, is renowned for its extraordinary properties of strength, durability, and the ability to maintain a prolonged sharpness over time. These characteristics make the steel ideal for the production of high-quality knives.

The 67-layer lamination technique gives the steel superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional steels. Additionally, the use of this Japanese steel gives the knives a distinctive and elegant design, with a particular wave pattern on the surface of the blade that forms during the manufacturing process.

The collaboration between Coltelleria Collini and Coltelleria Due Cigni highlights how the combination of skills and traditions of two Italian entities can lead to the creation of high-quality products, capable of competing with the best kitchen knives on the international market.

Thanks to the use of precious materials and attention to detail, these knives combine the excellence of Made in Italy with the high quality of the Japanese tradition in the cutlery sector.

Kai Europe offers another exclusive collaboration with master-chef Tim Mälzer: Small Kiritsuke 13 The Lucky Edition.

A special edition with an opaque brown handle and a 15 cm hammered blade. The edition is limited to only 5555 pieces and each one is numbered. As such, each knife is a unique collector's item.

As with the previous limited edition, the Kiritsuke was chosen, but in a smaller size. This is a type of Japanese knife that combines the design and characteristics of a usuba and a yanagiba. The usuba is used for cutting vegetables and the yanagiba for raw fish, for example when making sashimi. As such, the kiritsuke can be used for many different tasks in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, meat and fish. The tanto inverted profile makes the tip very flexible and perfect for precision tasks. The flat blade is perfect for other cutting tasks.

The superbly sharp blade is made of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (± 1) HRC and surrounded by 32-layer Damascus steel. The Damascus steel makes each knife unique. The matt handle of this special edition is, like the regular knives in the Tim Mälzer Premier collection, made of walnut wood: it is moisture-resistant thanks to the resin treatment. The chestnut shape of the handle is comfortable in the hand and provides a firm grip when using the knife.

FORM AND FUNCTION
The Premana Professional line was created by analyzing and solving, in every detail, the problems faced by the most attentive professional who uses these working tools on a daily basis. By making the green knives of the Premana Professional line, Coltellerie Sanelli S.r.l. has significantly improved the concept of safety, reliability, and hygiene in a decisive way, paying attention not only to the hardness, flexibility and shearing power of the blades, but also to the ergonomic shape of the handle.

THE BLADES.
The convex shape of the blade provides effective support when considerable effort is required on the part of the user and is also characterized by: high hardness (54-56 HRC), good flexibility, high shearing power, long edge life, edge shape especially designed for professional use, and excellent ease of resharpening.

HANDLES.
Exclusive ergonomic design of the handle resulting from special studies carried out at qualified University Institutes (research unit called EPM: Ergonomics of Posture and Movement at the Polytechnic University of Milan) and validated by computerized experimental tests.

ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION
Sanelli and Biomaster have developed permanent antibacterial protection for the handles of Premana line knives through the use of silver ions.
Biomaster is a silver ion-based, inorganic additive suitable for imparting antibacterial characteristics to plastics that safely inhibits microbial growth from the first few minutes, reaching almost total inhibition within 24 hours. Once incorporated into a product, Biomaster becomes an integral part of it providing safe, effective and inexhaustible antimicrobial protection.
Laboratory tests have shown that Biomaster, incorporated into the handles of Sanelli Premana Professional Line knives, is effective in the permanent microbiological eradication of Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) to the extent of 99.7 percent, obtaining ISO22196:20111 certification.

- Lama in ceramica Ishi-Ba nera di 18 cm.
- Manico in ABS

Qualità made in Japan dal 1984

Con i coltelli in ceramica Kyocera cucinare diventa puro piacere. Le loro speciali caratteristiche:

- lama in ceramica di zirconia ultra-tagliente, molata a mano
- lama estremamente robusta e resistente alla corrosione
- materiale high-tech con ottima tenuta del filo all'usura
- assoluta precisione di taglio grazie alla superficie liscia e compatta della lama

I dieci segreti di Ishi-Ba:

* non trasporta gusti ed odori
* è di materiale inerte
* non provoca reazioni chimiche con gli alimenti
* evita sapori sgradevoli di metallo
* non arrugginisce
* non si deteriora
* non ha parti ossidabili
* è facile da lavare, basta sciacquarlo
* è leggerissimo e maneggevole
* rimane perfettamente affilato, anche per anni

L'origine della gestione del Gruppo Kyocera è la filosofia di Kyocera, una filosofia di vita basata sulle esperienze della vita reale e sulle regole empiriche di Kazuo Inamori, fondatore e presidente emerito di Kyocera Corporation. Con la domanda "Qual è la cosa giusta da fare come essere umano?" come criterio principale, la filosofia di Kyocera descrive il significato dell'impegno per una gestione corretta e dell'agire in conformità con i valori umani etici e morali e le norme sociali fondamentali. 

PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL COLTELLO LEGGA ATTENTAMENTE QUESTE ISTRUZIONI E LE CONSERVI

Questo coltello funzionerà per vari anni senza nessun problema se:
• Lo toglie dal supporto per coltelli o dal cassetto
• Lo utilizza per tagli diritti da eseguire su tagliere
• Lo lava e l'asciuga
• Lo rimette nel supporto per coltelli o nel cassetto dopo averlo utilizzato

USO
Ideale per tagliare frutta, verdure e carni senza osso
Il termine verdure e frutta è generic: non si possono elencare tutti i tipi di frutta o verdura sconsigliati,ma è tassativamente sconsigliato l’utilizzo su frutta e verdura dutra (zucca, noci di cocco, ecc, )
Utilizzi sempre un tagliere di plastica o legno; eviti di tagliare su marmo, pietra, piatti o piastrelle Per trinciare, separare e disossare, così come per tagliare alimenti duri, congelati, pane con crosta e formaggi, utilizzi sempre i suoi coltelli tradizionali in acciaio. Questi tipi di taglio richiedono flessione e torsione e, per questo motivo, conviene utilizzare un materiale più flessibile rispetto alla ceramica.
Per la sua protezione, la punta e la base della lama non sono affilate

PULIZIA
Lavare a mano con acqua e detersivo per piatti.
I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in plastica possono essere messi in lavastoviglie. Vanno riposti nel vano dedicato a mestoli e piccoli accessori nel cestello superiore, evitando il contatto con altri utensili in metallo. I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in legno non possono essere lavati in lavastoviglie.
Nel caso si producessero scolorimenti che non scompaiono con la normale pulizia, lavi la lama (non l'impugnatura) con una leggera soluzione a base di candeggina.

EVITARE
Non lasciare cadere su superci dure.
Non utilizzare la punta come punto di rotazione, l'estremità a§lata potrebbe penetrare nel tagliere, bloccarsi e rompersi Non esporre la lama alla amma diretta (la ceramica è un conduttore di calore). Non utilizzare la parte laterale della lama per schiacciare aglio o altri alimenti.

CONSERVAZIONE
Lo collochi in un supporto per coltelli, un fodero o un cassetto. Quando colloca o toglie il coltello dal supporto, faccia attenzione a non danneggiare la punta della lama.

USURA
Con il trascorrere del tempo tutti i coltelli perdono l'a§latura. Un lama di metallo dolce (acciaio inossidabile) "slitta" quando perde l'affilatura. I metalli più duri (come l'acciaio con carbonio) rimangono affilati più tempo, però perdono l'affilatura in modo diverso. I materiali più duri, invece di "slittare", tendono a scheggiarsi leggermente.
All'inizio la ceramica è più affilata - e rimane a§lata per più tempo. Con il trascorrere del tempo possono prodursi delle piccole incisioni sul lo della lama. Si tratta del processo normale per il quale perdono l'a§latura tutte le lame in materiale duro.
Nonostante la loro apparenza, l'esistenza di piccole incisioni non signica necessariamente che il coltello non sia a§lato. Potrà constatare che funziona perfettamente durante un periodo di tempo prolungato.
Quando il rendimento del coltello non sarà più quello desiderato, il processo di a§latura Kyocera farà si che il suo coltello torni ad avere un lama ben affilata.
È possibile che le incisioni più profonde e una punta rotta si possano risolvere grazie alla nuova affilatura.

PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL COLTELLO LEGGA ATTENTAMENTE QUESTE ISTRUZIONI E LE CONSERVI

Questo coltello funzionerà per vari anni senza nessun problema se:
• Lo toglie dal supporto per coltelli o dal cassetto
• Lo utilizza per tagli diritti da eseguire su tagliere
• Lo lava e l'asciuga
• Lo rimette nel supporto per coltelli o nel cassetto dopo averlo utilizzato

USO
Ideale per tagliare frutta, verdure e carni senza osso
Il termine verdure e frutta è generic: non si possono elencare tutti i tipi di frutta o verdura sconsigliati,ma è tassativamente sconsigliato l’utilizzo su frutta e verdura dutra (zucca, noci di cocco, ecc, )
Utilizzi sempre un tagliere di plastica o legno; eviti di tagliare su marmo, pietra, piatti o piastrelle Per trinciare, separare e disossare, così come per tagliare alimenti duri, congelati, pane con crosta e formaggi, utilizzi sempre i suoi coltelli tradizionali in acciaio. Questi tipi di taglio richiedono flessione e torsione e, per questo motivo, conviene utilizzare un materiale più flessibile rispetto alla ceramica.
Per la sua protezione, la punta e la base della lama non sono affilate

PULIZIA
Lavare a mano con acqua e detersivo per piatti.
I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in plastica possono essere messi in lavastoviglie. Vanno riposti nel vano dedicato a mestoli e piccoli accessori nel cestello superiore, evitando il contatto con altri utensili in metallo. I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in legno non possono essere lavati in lavastoviglie.
Nel caso si producessero scolorimenti che non scompaiono con la normale pulizia, lavi la lama (non l'impugnatura) con una leggera soluzione a base di candeggina.

EVITARE
Non lasciare cadere su superci dure.
Non utilizzare la punta come punto di rotazione, l'estremità a§lata potrebbe penetrare nel tagliere, bloccarsi e rompersi Non esporre la lama alla amma diretta (la ceramica è un conduttore di calore). Non utilizzare la parte laterale della lama per schiacciare aglio o altri alimenti.

CONSERVAZIONE
Lo collochi in un supporto per coltelli, un fodero o un cassetto. Quando colloca o toglie il coltello dal supporto, faccia attenzione a non danneggiare la punta della lama.

USURA
Con il trascorrere del tempo tutti i coltelli perdono l'a§latura. Un lama di metallo dolce (acciaio inossidabile) "slitta" quando perde l'affilatura. I metalli più duri (come l'acciaio con carbonio) rimangono affilati più tempo, però perdono l'affilatura in modo diverso. I materiali più duri, invece di "slittare", tendono a scheggiarsi leggermente.
All'inizio la ceramica è più affilata - e rimane a§lata per più tempo. Con il trascorrere del tempo possono prodursi delle piccole incisioni sul lo della lama. Si tratta del processo normale per il quale perdono l'a§latura tutte le lame in materiale duro.
Nonostante la loro apparenza, l'esistenza di piccole incisioni non signica necessariamente che il coltello non sia a§lato. Potrà constatare che funziona perfettamente durante un periodo di tempo prolungato.
Quando il rendimento del coltello non sarà più quello desiderato, il processo di a§latura Kyocera farà si che il suo coltello torni ad avere un lama ben affilata.
È possibile che le incisioni più profonde e una punta rotta si possano risolvere grazie alla nuova affilatura.

Linearità ed eleganza per la linea più classica nel design, ma innovativa nell’utilizzo di materiali. La forma, i manici di legno e le lame bianchissime - che osservate in controluce rilevano magiche trasparenze - creano connubi inediti sul filo dell’emozione.

- Lama in ceramica Ishi-Ba di 13 cm.
- Manico in ABS

Qualità made in Japan dal 1984

Con i coltelli in ceramica Kyocera cucinare diventa puro piacere. Le loro speciali caratteristiche:

- lama in ceramica di zirconia ultra-tagliente, molata a mano
- lama estremamente robusta e resistente alla corrosione
- materiale high-tech con ottima tenuta del filo all'usura
- assoluta precisione di taglio grazie alla superficie liscia e compatta della lama
- massima leggerezza ed estrema praticità grazie al manico ergonomico

I dieci segreti di Ishi-Ba:

* non trasporta gusti ed odori
* è di materiale inerte
* non provoca reazioni chimiche con gli alimenti
* evita sapori sgradevoli di metallo
* non arrugginisce
* non si deteriora
* non ha parti ossidabili
* è facile da lavare, basta sciacquarlo
* è leggerissimo e maneggevole
* rimane perfettamente affilato, anche per anni
