Sakai Kanechika GIN3 Hontanren Gyuto 240mm
A versatile knife known as a chef's knife overseas. The shape is different from Santoku and Bunka, and the blade length varies from about 170mm. The main length used at home is approximately 210mm to 240mm.
Manufactured in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, this series uses rust-resistant GIN3 stainless steel as the core material. The characteristic of the Sakai Kanechika Gin Sanbon Forging Series is that it is made using a forging method called "Hon-Tanren" which is extremely time-consuming and requires the skill of the craftsman to create the shape of a knife by hammering out a small piece of steel. This knife was carefully sharpened one by one by Mr. Keiichi Fujii, a knife craftsman with a history of three generations in Sakai. The shape of the handle is Japanese-style and is made of natural wood, making it lighter and easier to handle than Western-style handles.
