Hello.

Today I would like to talk about steel material for kitchen knives.

It is a good looking knife. The price is 108,000 yen, which is a very high quality product.

However, there is a good reason why the price is so high.

The steel used for this knife is a new steel material that has never been used before.

It is a new product “SPG STRIX” developed by Takefu Special Steel.

The name is cool, too.

It is a type of powdered HSS steel.

Powdered HSS is a type of steel made by a manufacturing process that disperses carbides finely and evenly. This improves and sustains sharpness.

SG2 (Super Gold)” and ‘ZDP’ are known as typical conventional steels.

Since they fall under the category of “stainless steel,” they are more resistant to rust and easier to clean than steel.

Among them, this STRIX has a hard metal base and a hard blade on average, which makes it possible to bring out the ease of sharpening and sharpness like carbon steel (a knife that rusts).

In fact, when you touch the blades of the knives on our store shelves, you can feel the sharpness of the blade compared to conventional stainless steel.

It is very rare for a knife to combine the characteristics of good sharpness, long life, easy resharpening, and rust resistance.

There is no doubt that these knives have a quality that is worth the high price.

The Strix we offer also have an excellent manufacturing process.

Nakagawa Uchihamono is located in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture. Nakagawa Uchihamono is located in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture.

Mr. Nakagawa is a representative traditional craftsman of Sakai Uchihamono and a skilled craftsman.

He is young and eager to take on challenges, so he is willing to try new steel materials like this one.

The knives, which are also made using Sakai’s unique “forging” technique, are not only hard but also contain “toughness.

It is a gem made without compromise in both materials and processes.

We hope to promote this “SPG STRIX” material and hope that it will be widely recognized in the cutlery industry.

It is a pleasure for us at Kamata Hakensha to be able to handle excellent blades.

See you soon.
