Kanetsugu Pro-M Utility Knife 150 mm

The Kanetsugu Pro-M utility knife with a blade length of 150 mm is perfect for more precise work in the kitchen with small products. The Kanetsugu Pro-M series of kitchen knives are some of the most popular knives from this manufacturer. The blades are forged from a single piece of AUS-8 stainless steel using the “monosteel” technique. During hardening, the knives undergo heat treatment (the so-called “sub-zero treatment”), during which the blades are rapidly cooled to a temperature of -70 C°, thus gaining a hardness of 59+/-1 HRC. What distinguishes these knives are their amazing cutting properties, which we owe to the proper hardening and the convex grind, the so-called “hamaguri ba”. The finish of the knife itself and the fit of the handle are unheard of among other knives in this price range. The handle is made of dark pakka wood, which has been impregnated – it 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. Seki Kanetsugu is a manufacturer from the city of Seki in Japan, which is famous for producing kitchen knives. The company was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, a famous maker of samurai swords (1336-1392).
