He \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehas developed an original sharpening method that works great on vegetables, meat, AND raw fish, and that also keeps an edge incredibly well. Most sharpeners finish on one fine-grit stone, but he uses two vastly different grits, one on either side. The resulting edge bites easily into the skin of a tomato, but is smooth enough for slicing sashimi. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-944ab853-7fff-1db1-2337-5a245253d9fe\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAs a knife brand, Ichigo Ichie has two halves: Ichigo, meaning lifetime, and Ichie, one-time encounter. Ichigo are knives that we expect will stick around for years, that you can slowly build a set from or return to favourites to get gifts for loved ones. Ichie are knives that we love dearly, but may not stick around in our shops forever. Like a bag of excellent tea or a fine bottle of whiskey, we’ll savour them while they’re around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003eThis 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 their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ichigo Ichie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153848647854,"sku":"ICHIEIRCSG2TS165SA","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Ichie_Santoku_165mm_1_45a88440-1da2-492d-89c5-14dc4e44d1df.jpg?v=1773437110","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-us\/products\/ichie-ironclad-sg2-tsuchime-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
