Detailed information

Product detailed description

The Japanese Yuri Santoku knife from Shizu Hamono is an elegant and precisely crafted kitchen tool. It excels in its lightness and offers easy and comfortable use. This is achieved thanks to the sharp and thin stainless steel blade and the comfortable oval handle made of stabilized wood, polished to a velvety smooth finish.

Santoku means "three virtues" - which refers to meat, fish, and vegetables, or to slicing, dicing, and mincing. It is a versatile Japanese knife, ideal for everyday cooking. It has a short to medium-length blade with a broad profile, a straight or only slightly curved edge, and a rounded tip. Because of this, it is more suited for chopping than rocking - the movement is more vertical. Compared to the Gyuto knife, it is usually shorter, which ensures better maneuverability and makes it an ideal choice even for beginners.

The Yuri series, designed by the brand's female team, focuses on lightweight and thin knives that are ideal for daily use in the kitchen. The knives in this series have the thinnest blades in the entire Shizu Hamono catalog and allow for sharp and precise cuts with minimal effort.

Shizu Hamono

Shizu Hamono is a family business established in 1980, building on the rich tradition of blade crafting in the city of Seki, in Japan's Gifu Prefecture. With pride for its heritage, it bears a name inspired by master craftsman Saburo Sizu from the Edo period. At Shizu, they are committed to producing knives that meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Their original Yuri, Yamato, and Morinoki series are designed with an emphasis on ease of use and comfort during work. They put great effort into production and believe that their knives help people fully enjoy cooking.

Material

The blade is made from AUS-8 stainless steel with higher carbon content, coated with two layers of SUS1A-1 stainless steel, and crafted using the San-mai technique. Japanese steel AUS-8 is sturdy, durable, and easy to sharpen.
The handle is made from stabilized Pakkawood - a composite material made of layers of wood that are impregnated with resin and then pressed under high pressure. Pakkawood is highly resistant to heat, moisture, warping, and other common issues that can occur with natural hardwood.

Note: The knife is delivered in beautiful packaging in a paulownia wood box. 

Maintenance

If you want to keep your Japanese knives in perfect condition, here are a few must-haves: Wash the knives by hand. Wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid the dishwasher, which can damage the edge.
The blade of this knife is made from stainless steel and therefore requires less care. However, it is important to keep the blade clean and dry after use. To restore appearance, both the blade and handle can be oiled - preferably with linseed or camellia oil.

Regularly sharpen the knife on a whetstone, but remember that Japanese knives have a different edge angle and require special and gentler sharpening stones. Use a quality wooden cutting board. Store the knives in a dry place to prevent oxidation of the steel. Do not use for cutting or chopping frozen products or bones. The blade may chip or break.

SHIZU-HAMONO_BRAND-SLIM

Shizu Hamono je japonská značka nožů, která vychází z staleté kovářské tradice města Seki, známého jako „Město mečů“. Přestože byla společnost oficiálně založena v roce 1980, její zakladatel Masami Horibe začal s výrobou nožů již v roce 1959 - čímž pokračoval v odkazu řemeslného mistrovství sahajícího více než 700 let do minulosti. Název „Shizu“ vzdává hold legendárnímu mečíři Saburo Shizu a uctívá tak historické a řemeslné dědictví tohoto regionu.
