DESCRIPTION

Gingami 3 is categorized to stainless steel for its 13-14.5% Chromium blending ratio. Although it’s a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, actual feel of cutting is closer to the high-end carbon steel, The edge is not slippy but significantly grabbing object fibers.

Another reason why professional chef selects Gingami 3 is a good affinity to whetstones at hand re-sharpening. The combination with the soft stainless SUS405 outer layer provides further easiness to the blade sharpening. Neo-Classic Nashiji finish gives irresistible appeal to the series as well. The combination with the soft stainless SUS405 outer layer provides further easiness to the blade sharpening.The Japanese term “Nashiji” (English: Pear skin pattern) refers to the result of a technique that appears to leave the surface finish of a blade looking unfinished and rustic.

Beautiful knife

A very beautiful knife, feels good in the hand and is very very sharp.
I am very happy. Thank you.

Great quality, performance is excellent .first carbon steel knife and it is better than I expected

Love the knife, especially for the price!

This knife is so sharp. Quality is exceptional. Shipping was also fast.

Wonderful experience using this knife. Doesn't hurt that it's a pretty darned pretty knife, as well.

Bought these for my son, I have a set already, by far the best knives I own.

Very nice to cut veg with.

Nice shape, beautiful looks, good edge retention very satisfied

This is a beautiful knife! Love the handle and blade design. I recommend getting one.

Great knife

Love this knife for slicing through fruits, tomatoes and cheese blocks. It’s very sharp and lightweight and gives me the perfect slices every time. Just make sure to hold the item properly before slicing so there isn’t any slippage.

I wanted a sharp knife

I wanted a sharp knife for cutting raw chicken that wouldn't lose an edge. This knife is it. Plus I love Japanese made knives. They know how to do it

Razor sharp, light with a very thin blade. Well balanced. A thing of beauty!

I bought this knife as my first Japanese knife, I thus cannot really compare it, but I am very pleased with it. I ordered the extra sharp version, which in deed was super sharp on arrival. The knife is beautiful, well balanced, very nice to use. Edge retention may be a bit less than I expected, but again I have no other knife to compare it to. And, even if noticeable in sharpness tests, the loss of sharpness is very limited. In addition, I also wanted this first knife to practise sharpening with whetstone. I found it very easy to resharpen. Rust resistance is perfect so far. In the end, I thus recommand this knife, which, I think, is very good value for the money

切れ味良好！左利きの私にも違和感なく、冷凍物もすっきり切れて気持ちがイイです。

If you love cooking then this knife should be on your wish list it’s a pleasure to use perfect in the hand and super sharp too

One more happy customer

Everything fine.

Size wise, it just what I needed.

It fills in the gap between my paring and utility knives. I have more control on smaller tasks and deboning. It feels very light and is very sharp out of the box. My wife uses it and she is very impressed at how it easily cuts through meats and vegetables. For me, it's a great buy.

Very sharp and beautiful knife.

I love this knife. It ist very handy and very sharp. I resharpenend and polished it, because I wanted a polished blade, but it was not necessary regarding sharpness. The sharpness was very good "out of the box

Amazing sharp

Not good for a Big hand. Pretty knife

This knife is very sharp and light weight and I love it,I use it for all kinds of cutting.

Petty

It's a gorgeous knife that holds a great edge and cuts beautifully. The only slight issue for me is that the handle is a bit smaller than I expected.

Very versatile

Even though this knife was designed to break down chicken. I have used this on lots of meats such as tenderloin, cutting silver skin was a breeze as it was very easy to maneuver the knife.

Love both! Top quality, works perfectly

This knife is light, compact and versatile. If I only owned 1 knife, this would be it.

満足

切れ味抜群でデザインもよく、料理が楽しくなります。水に弱いので使ったらすぐ洗って水気を取って片付けるのが良いと思います。
