IZUMI ICHIAGO Bread Knife (Japanese Grind – double-edged) made of Japanese High Carbon Stainless Steel, Tecaran Handle

Strong Knives for Aspiring and Professional Chefs

The renowned knife maker and author Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig is responsible for the design of the knife series by Izumi Ichiago. The designer and knife maker used classic Japanese forms as a basis, adapting them to European requirements. The result is products that meet all demands in modern kitchens.

The blades are drop-forged from rust-free Japanese high-carbon steel. The optimal mix of chromium and carbon content guarantees a very sharp blade. This alloy composition ensures high rust resistance, combined with hardness and good sharpenability. The steel offers ideal properties for kitchen knives with high utility value in gastronomy and for daily use in the home kitchen. The knives are sharpened very precisely.

The ergonomic Tecaran handles and the pronounced finger guard prove to be ideally suited for use even under the high demands of professional gastronomic kitchens. The oval shape of the handles allows for smooth work – each knife fits perfectly in the hand.

In addition to their high utility value, the knives impress with their timeless elegance. The noble black handle visually complements the matte finish of the large stainless steel rivets and the handle end.

The IZUMI ICHIAGO Bread Knife offered here comes in a black gift box. As is customary in Japan, the bread knife has a double bevel on both sides, ensuring a straight cut even with crusty bread.
