Questo coltello giapponese con lama in ossido di zirconio di 140mm, un ottimo strumento per la carne e la verdura grazie alle sue dimensioni e alle sue eccelse capacita' di taglio e di praticita', conferita anche dalla nuova impugnatura ergonomica antiscivolo in polimeri termoplastici.
Disponibile nei seguenti colori: viola, giallo, arancione, rosso, azzurro, bianco e verde.

- Lama in ceramica Ishi-Ba di 14 cm.
- Manico in ABS

Qualità made in Japan dal 1984

Con i coltelli in ceramica Kyocera cucinare diventa puro piacere. Le loro speciali caratteristiche:

- lama in ceramica di zirconia ultra-tagliente, molata a mano
- lama estremamente robusta e resistente alla corrosione
- materiale high-tech con ottima tenuta del filo all'usura
- assoluta precisione di taglio grazie alla superficie liscia e compatta della lama

I dieci segreti di Ishi-Ba:

* non trasporta gusti ed odori
* è di materiale inerte
* non provoca reazioni chimiche con gli alimenti
* evita sapori sgradevoli di metallo
* non arrugginisce
* non si deteriora

* è facile da lavare, basta sciacquarlo
* è leggerissimo e maneggevole
* rimane perfettamente affilato, anche per anni

L'origine della gestione del Gruppo Kyocera è la filosofia di Kyocera, una filosofia di vita basata sulle esperienze della vita reale e sulle regole empiriche di Kazuo Inamori, fondatore e presidente emerito di Kyocera Corporation. Con la domanda "Qual è la cosa giusta da fare come essere umano?" come criterio principale, la filosofia di Kyocera descrive il significato dell'impegno per una gestione corretta e dell'agire in conformità con i valori umani etici e morali e le norme sociali fondamentali. 

PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL COLTELLO LEGGA ATTENTAMENTE QUESTE ISTRUZIONI E LE CONSERVI

Questo coltello funzionerà per vari anni senza nessun problema se:
• Lo toglie dal supporto per coltelli o dal cassetto
• Lo utilizza per tagli diritti da eseguire su tagliere
• Lo lava e l'asciuga
• Lo rimette nel supporto per coltelli o nel cassetto dopo averlo utilizzato

USO
Ideale per tagliare frutta, verdure e carni senza osso
Il termine verdure e frutta è generic: non si possono elencare tutti i tipi di frutta o verdura sconsigliati,ma è tassativamente sconsigliato l’utilizzo su frutta e verdura dutra (zucca, noci di cocco, ecc, )
Utilizzi sempre un tagliere di plastica o legno; eviti di tagliare su marmo, pietra, piatti o piastrelle Per trinciare, separare e disossare, così come per tagliare alimenti duri, congelati, pane con crosta e formaggi, utilizzi sempre i suoi coltelli tradizionali in acciaio. Questi tipi di taglio richiedono flessione e torsione e, per questo motivo, conviene utilizzare un materiale più flessibile rispetto alla ceramica.
Per la sua protezione, la punta e la base della lama non sono affilate

PULIZIA
Lavare a mano con acqua e detersivo per piatti.
I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in plastica possono essere messi in lavastoviglie. Vanno riposti nel vano dedicato a mestoli e piccoli accessori nel cestello superiore, evitando il contatto con altri utensili in metallo. I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in legno non possono essere lavati in lavastoviglie.
Nel caso si producessero scolorimenti che non scompaiono con la normale pulizia, lavi la lama (non l'impugnatura) con una leggera soluzione a base di candeggina.

EVITARE
Non lasciare cadere su superci dure.
Non utilizzare la punta come punto di rotazione, l'estremità a§lata potrebbe penetrare nel tagliere, bloccarsi e rompersi Non esporre la lama alla amma diretta (la ceramica è un conduttore di calore). Non utilizzare la parte laterale della lama per schiacciare aglio o altri alimenti.

CONSERVAZIONE
Lo collochi in un supporto per coltelli, un fodero o un cassetto. Quando colloca o toglie il coltello dal supporto, faccia attenzione a non danneggiare la punta della lama.

USURA
Con il trascorrere del tempo tutti i coltelli perdono l'a§latura. Un lama di metallo dolce (acciaio inossidabile) "slitta" quando perde l'affilatura. I metalli più duri (come l'acciaio con carbonio) rimangono affilati più tempo, però perdono l'affilatura in modo diverso. I materiali più duri, invece di "slittare", tendono a scheggiarsi leggermente.
All'inizio la ceramica è più affilata - e rimane a§lata per più tempo. Con il trascorrere del tempo possono prodursi delle piccole incisioni sul lo della lama. Si tratta del processo normale per il quale perdono l'a§latura tutte le lame in materiale duro.
Nonostante la loro apparenza, l'esistenza di piccole incisioni non signica necessariamente che il coltello non sia a§lato. Potrà constatare che funziona perfettamente durante un periodo di tempo prolungato.
Quando il rendimento del coltello non sarà più quello desiderato, il processo di a§latura Kyocera farà si che il suo coltello torni ad avere un lama ben affilata.
È possibile che le incisioni più profonde e una punta rotta si possano risolvere grazie alla nuova affilatura.

Shun Classic is one of the flagship lines of the Kai Group (which currently also includes the Kershaw and Zero Tolerance brands), a famous Japanese manufacturer of knives and razors since the early 1900s. This is a series of knives and kitchen accessories suitable for professionals and enthusiasts.

Today, these knives represent the pinnacle of Japanese culinary technology. The quality does not stop with the steel used, however, but continues with the care of the workmanship (sharpening in particular) and the materials used, such as the splendid Pakkawood used for the handles.

Handle: Black Pakkawood
Blade length: 170 mm.
