Sakai Kanechika GIN3 Hontanren K-Tip Slicer 270mm
A knife suitable for cutting meat into thin pieces. Due to its length, it is often used for cutting, and can also be used to thinly cut soft vegetables such as tomatoes, fruits, and fish fillets. The main length is approximately 210mm to 300mm.
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.
