Kanetsugu kitchen knives are made in Seki, which is a Japanese city well-known for its history in the cutlery industry. For more than a century, Kanetsugu has been manufacturing knives of good quality that are designed to be durable and meet the expectations of passionate cooks. 

The Rev21 series is a Kanetsugu’s knife range that offers several types of kitchen knives at truly affordable prices. For those cooks who dream of testing the Japanese quality without having to set aside a large budget, the Kanetsugu Rev21 knives are undoubtedly a great option!

For example, the santoku knife 13.5cm in this page is the perfect type of knife to introduce the Japanese tradition into your kitchen equipment. It is the most polyvalent of Japanese-style knives as it can be used to cut almost every type of food ingredient. Meats, fruits, vegetables, herbs… this knife can do it all, and thanks to its micro-serrated blade, it can also easily deal with foods that have difficult skins such as tomatoes. 

Its blade is made of steel enriched with molybdenum, which is an element that enhances the hardness of the blade whilst keeping its flexibility so that it is not so fragile during its usage. Molybdenum also enables the blade to be more resistant to corrosion, which is a characteristic highly appreciated by most cooks. 

Unlike the blades of most santoku knives out there in the market, this one has a micro-serrated edge that enables the blade to remain sharp 5 times longer than a standard blade. The serrations are only on one side of the blade, thus when you’ll need to sharpen the blade, you can do it on the plain side of the blade. 

The handle is made reinforced laminated wood in black colour. This lightweight material is easy to maintain and feels comfortable in your hand. The ergonomic design of the handle is suitable for both right and left handed cooks. It has two rivets that are connected to a half tang that runs inside the handle’s body. 

To preserve the look and quality of this Japanese knife. you should only wash it by hand and dry it immediately. It should be stored in a safe and dry place.
