Translating to ‘water’ in Japanese, this collection’s name is inspired by the deep bluish-black ‘kurouchi’ finish. I’ve always loved carbon steel because it cuts like a dream, and when you use the knife, you can almost feel the heart and soul of the blacksmith in your hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI know from experience how little money young chefs and cooks have for good tools, so the Mizu series was created to provide a traditional Japanese blade that was accessible to them–or anyone else on a tight budget!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTakumi Ikeda-san, the nephew of legendary blacksmith and Takefu Knife Village co-founder Katsushige Anryu-san, began his knifemaking apprenticeship in 2007. In January 2021, Anryu-san officially passed the reins of Anryu Hamono to Ikeda-san. By that point, Ikeda-san was already a master and doing most of the forging at Anryu Hamono. With some serious traditional skills under his belt and a fresh outlook on knifemaking, Ikeda-san is already doing the family legacy justice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003e This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MD5YBB_OjgA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" data-dashlane-frameid=\"130\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masakage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5678114116,"sku":"MAM165SA","price":228.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/mizu-santoku-1.jpg?v=1548694876","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-au\/products\/masakage-mizu-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
