KANETSUGU Japanese Knife,Japanese Kitchen Knife,Japanese Chef's Knives.Com

JCK is pleased to introduce "Extremely Sharp" knives from Kanetsugu, the legendary Swordsmith in Seki started in the Teiwa period (1345-1349). The tradition and ancient technique have been passed down generations to generations for over 660 years. Mr. Mitsuyasu Kawamura, the current generation and owner of Kanetsugu, has recently developed "PRO-M" series Chef's knives that bring ancient Katana sharpness to modern Chef's knives through tradition and high technology.

  The blade is made of Molybdenum alloy high carbon stainless steel with traditional"Hamaguri ba" (Convex edge grind), the edge that made Japanese swords famous, for an outstanding sharpness and durability,and yet easy to resharpen. It is heat treated and then Sub Zero quenched. which refrigerates the blade to  70 degrees for longer edge retention and strength to brittleness and chipping.

We have exhibited these knives at the Las Vegas Gourmet Show in May. Mr. Kawamura was there to demonstrate and conduct "Cutting Test" at the show. We have also visited one of the culinary school in Las Vegas for the cutting demonstration. Everybody involved was amazed with their incredible sharpness. Here is the comment from one of the door prize lucky winners, :

"I have received  the Kanetsugu ProM Gyuto knife at the Personal Chef's Convention for PCN this month, and just wished to tell you how great this knife is. I have a set of Shun's which I love, but Kanetsugu Pro M Chef's Knife blows them away. I have added my name for your newsletter. Are you planning on adding this line on the web site?

Thank You So Much.   Lance W. Lemke   Lemke's Custom Home Meals"

We are now ready to deliver these amazingly sharp knives, and would like you to experience the real Katana sharpness.
