It is a model that achieves both sharpness and cost performance by using a special stainless steel that specializes in sharpness for the "core material".
Hand sharpening[Commitment to hand sharpening]
Nenohi's knives are hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. You can experience the best performance of the knife immediately after purchase.
By hand-sharpening all knives, we strictly check whether each individual knives is finished as planned.
Mineral / chin polishing[Commitment to spine/heel polishing]
By precisely polishing the part that touches the hand, such as the "spine / heel" of the knife, to achieve a stress-free grip and use.
Nenohi's precision polishing, which can be called "ultra-precision", further enhances the beauty of the knife.
Left: magnolia octagonal pattern, Right: ebony octagonal pattern (paid option)[Commitment to the handle]
On Nenohi, Japanese knives have an "octagonal pattern".
Every time you pick up the knife, you can hold it at the same angle every time.
In the work of "attaching the handle (attaching the handle)", we focus on making the knife balanced in the hand (lightening the tip) and attaching the knife (severely) immediately.
Nenohi understands the importance of this seemingly obvious process and places special emphasis on it. The gap between the knife and the handle is carved from the same material (Magnolia wood for magnolia, ebony wood for ebony) and hammered into the gap so that even the gap between the handle is beautiful and the gap does not widen even after long use. In addition, by soaking hot wax into invisible gaps, it prevents water from entering, prevents the knife from rusting, and extends the life of the handle.
Commitment to heat treatment[Commitment to heat treatment]
Through many years of research, we are researching what kind of heat treatment can be applied to steel carefully selected from steel manufacturers around the world to bring it closer to the ideal knife performance. Ignoring the general theory, the recipe for heat treatment on Nenohi is "how" to raise the temperature to what degree. It also calculates "how" to lower the temperature by how many degrees Celsius. We use a special quenching method that controls the temperature of each knife evenly, and a heat treatment called "cryo treatment (ultra-sub-zero)" that rapidly cools to -196°C to achieve the best knife performance in each grade. increase.
Blade finish: hairline finish Handle: magnolia/ebony handle (optional) Saya: magnolia wood (optional)
The blade is rust-resistant, but if you wash it immediately after use and wipe it dry, you can keep it in a clean state for a longer time.
In addition, do not use the dishwasher for this knife.
