FAQ List
Japanese knives are typically lighter and sharper than Western knives. They are also often made from harder steel, which allows them to hold a sharper edge for longer.
A Santoku knife is a great choice for beginners. It is a versatile knife that can be used for a variety of tasks, including slicing, chopping, and dicing.
Japanese knives should be hand washed and dried immediately after use. They should also be stored in a knife block or sheath to protect the blade. It's important to keep the blade sharp by using a honing rod or sharpening stone regularly.
Japanese knives can be more expensive than Western knives, but this is often due to the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that goes into making them. However, there are also affordable options available for those on a budget.
No, Japanese knives are not designed to cut through bone. Doing so can damage the blade and potentially cause injury. It's important to use a specialized bone saw or cleaver for this task.
