Osaka Kitchen Knife

Kitchen knife Osaka Kitchen Knife 3 CLAVELES is made based on the Japanese kitchen knife Petty. Petty, in fact, is a Universal kitchen knife that exists in completely different dimensional modifications from 70 to 150 mm. In this case, the length of the knife blade is even longer than that of the classic Petty - 170 mm, but this does not prevent it from being a convenient tool for most operations in the kitchen. They can clean and cut vegetables, disassemble meat, cut ready-made products. It is thanks to these qualities that it is called universal. It lies perfectly in the hand, well balanced, ergonomic and thought out to the smallest detail. Therefore, if you like medium-sized knives, they are a great choice as the main knife in the kitchen, as they can perform most of the basic operations in cooking. The Osaka Kitchen Knife 3 CLAVELES lies perfectly in the hand, the bolster of the knife is stylized as a classic Japanese one, but it is 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 150 grams) and increases comfort in work . The overall balance of the knife is shifted to the blade, which makes it easier to work when cutting.

A distinctive feature of the Osaka Kitchen Knife 3 CLAVELES series of kitchen knives is the presence of a forged knife head structure, 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.
