The San line perfectly combines elegance with utility. 3 Layer (sanmai) construction, with VG5 core heat treated to a perfect hardness of HRC 61, giving the knife a very strong edge retention. The bevel is hand sharpened and polished by hand, giving the edge an unmatched sharpness.
The outer layers are comprised of soft stainless steel that was given a beautiful hammered matte finish. Combined with a stabilized wood handle, integrated bolster, the Tamahagane San is a prefect addition to the kitchen.
Kataoka Hamano is a professional kitchen knife maker based in Tsubame, Niigata, Japan. Tsubame is a centre famous for steel products, a lot of high-end stainless cookware is from there. While the city of “Tsubame” may not sound familiar, it is actually adjacent to another famous (handmade) knife centre: Sanjo, in fact they share the same bullet train station, which is conveniently named as “Tsubame-Sanjo Station”
