Sakai Kanechika 150mm Petty Gin3

From one of the wildest grinders in the world - Mr. Fujii - can we now present these knives

Mr. Fujii doesn't forge himself, he only grinds. This carefully thought-out division of labor ensures that, over the 50+ years he has been sharpening knives, he has acquired a fantastic competence. When we write grinding in this case, it is not just the finishing grind, but also what you can call 'the initial grind'. That is, from the raw, forged blade to the finished and sharp knife.

He is not the only one in his workshop, he has three students who need a minimum of 8 years to be able to call themselves master grinders.

Enough about that, the core of these knives are called many things - Ginsanko, Gin3, Ginsan and not least Silversteel. The steel alloy itself is, in our eyes, one of the most fun. It fits as close to carbon steel as possible. However, it is just 100% stainless - that is, a crazy fine egg, on a stainless blade. You don't see that everywhere!

This knife is a utility , which is also called a petty knife. It is 15 cm, and it is used for the finer tasks such as trimming meat, or slightly more demanding cuts in fruit and vegetables. The cutting experience of this knife is poor in words, so it is a knife that must be tested to that extent. If you have the opportunity to drop by our store in Torvehallerne in Copenhagen, we will therefore be ready with carrots and a cutting board, so that you will be able to experience for yourself why this knife is so much better than most others out there.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
