跟KS系列的尺寸一樣,但由一片瑞典不鏽鋼鍛造以成,保養輕鬆,鋒利度也達到極高水平。

刀身較高,刀刃平坦位置及弧度比例極佳,加上上級的完工度,屬切割感極度優良的刀款。

正本總本店刀上的”刮痕”只是防鏽膜的痕跡,並不落在刀身上。防鏽膜可以用酒精、丙酮(卸甲水)或同等溶劑去除,但刀身會比較容易生鏽。你也可隨着使用令防鏽膜慢慢脫落,這更有助綠鏽”Patina”的形成。
The “scratches” you see on Masamoto Sohonten blades are traces of dipping the knife into anti rust coating prior to shipping from Masamoto. Those streaks are not on the actual blade. You may remove the coating with alcohol, acetone or equivalent, but the knife will become more reactive to moisture, otherwise the coating will wear slowly and help patina build up.


Steel Info

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel offers strong rust resistance and is relatively easy to maintain, making it ideal for both home kitchens and busy professional environments. However, stainless steel is not completely rust-proof. Exposure to high humidity over extended time can still corrode the steel. After cleaning, please dry the blade immediately and ensure it is completely dry before storage. 

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel generally contains little or no chromium, which makes it less resistant to rust. It is recommended to keep a slightly damp towel handy to wipe the blade regularly during use to maintain cleanliness. Before storage, apply a thin coat of knife oil to help prevent rust. Over time, a natural patina will form, turning the blade grey blue-ish. It actually helps protect the blade from corrosion. 

Nowadays, many carbon steel knives feature stainless steel cladding. In these cases, only the exposed cutting edge and spine require extra attention. However, if the cladding is made of soft iron, the entire knife remains susceptible to rust and should be handled with care.
