Sakura AUS-6A 18cm Carving Knife

Sakura AUS-6A 18cm Carving Knife The Japanese Tamahagane Sakura carving knife is a classic tool that allows for precise slicing of large portions of meat into smaller slices or pieces. The knife is also suitable for separating meat from the bone. The handle is made of black micarta, a highly regarded material used in knife production. It is a composite obtained from linen, canvas, and carbon fiber. Micarta is characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures, and moisture. Specifications: Blade: AUS-6A stainless steel Blade hardness: 58 HRC +/- 1 Blade length: 18cm Blade width: 2.5cm Weight: approx. 105g Usage Tips: After use, it should be washed and preferably dried thoroughly or left to air dry on a rack. Dishwasher use is not allowed. The chemicals used in dishwashers can cause discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle, or the blade itself. Proper knife storage is also important. The most recommended options are magnetic strips and magnetic boards, as they protect the knife during its "rest" while working in the kitchen. Traditional slot blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to protect their edges. It is also important to remember to thoroughly dry them before storing, as the closed construction of the block does not provide good ventilation for the knives. Preserving the quality of the blades also involves the proper use of cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitely not. Additionally, pay attention to not cutting frozen products, items with bones, or immersing the blade in boiling water during thermal processing of prepared dishes. Kitchen knives that have not been used for a long time can be oiled with camellia oil to keep them in good condition. Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the beauty and perfect sharpness of these knives for many years.
