Kitchen knife Osaka Chefs Knife

Kitchen knife Osaka Chef's Knife 3 CLAVELES is made based on the Japanese Gyuto kitchen knife. In fact, the Gyuto is a multi-purpose knife, an analogue of the European chef's knife, as its name indicates - Osaka Chef's Knife. Gyuto in translation means “cow sword”, which determines its priority purpose, like cutting large pieces of beef. Often, when choosing the "master" knife in the kitchen, home cooks, in case "size matters", prefer the traditional chef's knife. And it's a great choice as a main knife in the kitchen as it can handle most of the basic cooking tasks. The Osaka Chef's Knife 3 CLAVELES lies perfectly in the hand, the knife bolster is stylized as a classic Japanese knife, but made of stainless steel, it is quite massive, which improves the balance of the knife as a whole and gives the whole structure a pleasant heaviness (knife weight 195 grams) and increases comfort in work . The overall balance is shifted to the blade, which makes it easier to work with a long blade when cutting, the knife is ergonomic and thought out to the smallest detail.

A distinctive feature of the Osaka Knife 3 CLAVELES series of kitchen knives is the presence of a forged structure of the knife bark, the so-called “pear skin”. The forged bumps on the blades are the result of a technique that gives the blade its original look, making the surface of the blade look a bit unfinished and even rustic. But therein lies the charm of the appearance of this blade. However, in addition to the visual effect, such a surface, by creating air cushions on the skin, prevents cut products (for example, hard cheeses) from sticking to the surface of the knife.
