Kanetsugu Pro-M Chef’s Knife 210 mm

The Kanetsugu Pro-M chef’s knife with a 210 mm blade is a versatile knife that works well for both chopping vegetables and filleting fish. Kanetsugu Pro-M is a series of popular kitchen knives made entirely of stainless high-carbon steel. The blades of these knives are forged from a single piece of AUS-8 steel using the “monosteel” technique. During hardening, the AUS-8 steel undergoes a special treatment, the so-called “sub-zero treatment”, during which the knives are cooled instantly to a temperature of -70 C°, giving the blades a hardness of 59+/-1 HRC. The blades of the Pro-M series knives have unique cutting properties, which we owe not only to the proper hardening, but also to the convex grind, the so-called hamaguri ba, which makes it very easy to separate food during cutting. It is worth noting that both the finish of the knives in this series and the fit of the handle 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 was founded in 1918 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.
