Kanetsugu Pro-M Sujihiki 240 mm – characteristics

Kanetsugu Pro-M is a series of ultra-sharp kitchen knives made entirely of stainless steel molybdenum-vanadium AUS-8. The Kanetsugu company subjects the knives from the Pro-M series to a special heat treatment during hardening (the so-called “sub-zero treatment”), during which the knives are cooled instantly to a temperature of -70 C°. Thanks to this process, the blades achieve a sufficiently high hardness level of 59+/-1 HRC. The knives from the Pro-M series have unique cutting properties, which we owe to the good heat treatment of the steel and the convex grind, the so-called “hamaguri ba”, which makes it very easy to separate food from the blade during cutting. The finish of these knives, the blade profile, and the handle fit are at a very high level. The handle of this knife is made of dark pakka wood, which has been impregnated and is completely resistant to moisture. The ergonomically profiled handle is very comfortable and provides a secure grip, even during long hours of work in the kitchen. The company, which has existed for over 100 years, was founded by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, a famous maker of samurai swords (1336-1392). Seki Kanetsugu is a manufacturer from the city of Seki in Japan, which is famous for producing kitchen knives.
