V10, which boasts high hardness and long-lasting sharpness
V10, a steel material made with high precision hardening technology, is characterized by its high hardness and long-lasting sharpness.
amane's seven commitments
Professional-grade stainless steel
The V10 used for the blade is extremely hard and has properties similar to those of tenacious steel.
In order to take advantage of this superior steel, AMANE tempered the steel without reducing its hardness and carefully removed the distortion of the all-steel steel, which is prone to cracking.
The process of removing thickness using a whetstone is added to this process, and this knife is filled with the essence of handcraftsmanship.
Smooth cutting clam blade
The blade is thin and has a smooth curve toward the tip of the blade, called a "clam shell" blade, which provides a good cutting feel for a long time because of its thin blade and low resistance.
The blade is designed to last for a long time, and the cutting feel is smooth with a good separation of food.
One-piece steel for easy sharpening and blade attachment to suit the user's hand
The blade tip is angled with a 7:3 ratio of front to back, making it easier for right-handed users to use.
Knives made with a one-piece steel construction allow the user to freely change the blade attachment.
For example, it is possible to sharpen the blade to a shape similar to a single-edged blade, resulting in a sharper blade.
Also, amane, which is thoroughly strained in the manufacturing process, is characterized by a stable sharpening feel even after years of use.
Carefully crafted handle for easy gripping
In pursuit of a comfortable grip, the handles are carefully polished over and over again to eliminate gaps between the metal and plywood parts, resulting in a glossy, rounded finish that is extremely comfortable in the hand.
It can be used for long periods of time without stress on the gripped hand, and is recommended for people with small hands.
The handle is a subtle detail that is noticed only when you hold it, but it is a handle that is filled with care for the user.
Hygienic and durable stainless steel flange
The flange (mouthpiece) between the blade and handle prevents water from seeping into the handle, making it hygienic and resistant to damage, and thus highly durable. The flange is made of rust-resistant stainless steel, making it more resistant to stains and dirt.
Logo mark of KAMA-ASA
The Kamasa Shoten logo on the back of the blade is proof of our commitment to originality. It is a proof of our commitment to our knives, which are only available at Kamasa.
