Description
The chef's knife is the knife you reach for most often in the kitchen, and its length determines how much you can cut in a single motion. At 210 mm, the WG Chef has plenty of blade for heavy work while keeping the weight low.
Blade construction
The core is made of stainless VG1 steel with a hardness of HRC 60. Around it lies soft stainless steel, three layers in total. This construction makes the blade thin and strong at the same time, and gives the knife its distinctive look.
Because the core is stainless, the edge stays sharp for a long time with proper use, without you having to dry the knife after every use.
Western shape, Japanese origin
The WG series combines a Western shape with Japanese steel quality. If you're coming from a European chef's knife, the 210 mm will feel familiar, but the blade is thinner and the edge finer.
How this knife is made
A Kikuichi knife passes through the hands of at least four master craftsmen. Each of them masters one step, from forging to sharpening, and no two knives come out identical.
Strength, hardness and durability determine which steel Kikuichi uses. With a chef's knife of this length, that counts double: the blade must stay thin while carrying the load of daily use.
