[Shipment after completion in July] 12 cm small black knife of blacksmith

A short bread knife made by Mr. Daitoku Akahata, a craftsman in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture. Unlike kitchen knife for mass-produced products, it is a so-called blacksmith's work, which is a punching tool that punches and forms point by point steel. Uchihamono, which has a long history of making agricultural tools and Japanese swords and other armor. If it is familiar, it is used in knives, especially Japanese knives. For this reason, so-called cultural knives (Santoku knives), as well as nagiri knives and knives knives are relatively well made. This kitchen knife is a bread knife that is extremely rare in the manufacturing of such cutting tools. An unusual reason is the jagged edges of a bread knife. After finishing the blade, there is a process of cutting out the burr one by one with a file of diamond, which is different from the so-called manufacturing of cutting tools. For this reason, most craftsmen say that they make knives with a knife but not bread knives. On the other hand, commercially available bread knives are called punching knives, and are mass-produced knives in which steel is mechanically die-cut to make blades. It is a different type at the time of the cutlery. Since it is a machine production, it may be easier to produce bread knives with that flow. Mr. Akabata, who makes this bread knife, is not only making blades but also making various iron works, and he makes the knife handle himself. Such a wide range of processing techniques unique to Mr. Akabata gave birth to a bread knife with a knife. A knife made by forging iron and steel and punching each one. The sharpness, the feel when picked up by hand, and the texture that increases with use are the charm of a carefully crafted blade. Most bread knives are mass-produced, but they are used daily. Since the object to be cut is bread, there is little damage to the blade and it can be used for long and long periods. Makes a table with bread even more fun. This small size has a special leather case sold separately. (5th photo) Small bread knife 12 cm leather case https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/hprBc72m Please order together. We will ship them together after both are ready. ▼ size There are two sizes, and the work on this page is small. It has a small turning effect and is very convenient. It takes a long length to cut a loaf of bread or a large campagne, but a long cleaver tends to be too long to cut a baguette or a small piece of bread. This short size is perfect for those who do not usually eat bread. I use this size in the morning to eat baguettes because I often get bread cut at shops or buy cut ones. I like how easy it is to cut and eat as it is with a cutting board and a short knife. Despite its short size, it's not a knife that cuts, but a length that can be comfortably used as a kitchen knife. One of the reasons for the ease of use is the finely adjusted blade, which is attached at a slight angle. ▼ Re-sharpening We also accept re-sharpening by Mr. Akabata.
