GLOBAL Japanese knives are the favourite of chefs in the world's most prestigious hotels and restaurants.

The first GLOBAL knife was designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, who gave the knife a new and revolutionary design.

The main features of GLOBAL knives are:

Lightness: GLOBAL was the first company in the world to create a knife with a hollow steel handle. This feature reduces the weight of the knife by 30%.

Ease of handling: Thanks to their light weight and the anatomical shape of the handle, GLOBAL knives are suitable for continuous and prolonged use, reducing user fatigue to a minimum.

Blade strength: GLOBAL knives are made of the best steels and the most modern manufacturing techniques. In the blades there is a high percentage of Molybdenum/Vanadium thanks to which the hardness of the steel reaches 56/58 Rockwell, thus increasing the life of the edge.

Robustness: As GLOBAL knives are made completely of steel (handle and blade) they are practically indestructible.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Maestro.

Kai Europe celebrates its 11 years of collaboration with master-chef Tim Mälzer with this exclusive Kai Shun Premium Tim Mälzer Limited Edition 20 cm kiritsuke.

A special edition with a matte brown handle and a 20 cm hammered blade. In addition, the blade is embellished with the exclusive Edition XL logo and Tim Mälzer's autograph. This knife was produced in only 5555 pieces and each one is numbered. As such each knife is a unique collector's item. We are happy and proud to be able to offer these knives to our customers.
The Kiritsuke is a knife that combines the design and features of a usuba and a Japanese yanagiba. You use the usuba for cutting vegetables and the yanagiba for raw fish, for example when making sashimi. As such the kiritsuke can be used for many different tasks in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, meat and fish. The tanto inverted profile makes the tip very flexible and perfect for precision tasks. However, it also makes it more fragile. The flat blade is perfect for other cutting tasks.
The knife is sharpened on both sides and is made of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (± 1) HRC and surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel. Damascus steel makes each knife unique. The matte handle of this special edition is, like the regular knives in the Tim Mälzer Premier collection, made of walnut wood. A type of wood with an extremely characteristic pattern. And resistant to moisture thanks to resin treatment. The traditional Japanese chestnut shape of the handle is comfortable in the hand and offers a firm grip when using the knife.

The realization of a WUSTHOF forged knife requires the passage of about 40 processing cycles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:

- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher bump other objects; the blades could be damaged.

- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the water tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).

- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image). This marking guarantees the buyer to have the certainty of quality, traceability, guarantee over the years and a future privileged assistance on the product purchased from Coltelleria Collini.

Takefu Knives Village is a brand born in 1991 in Echizen Fukui, a city in Japan famous since 1400 for the production of knives.
The Takefu knives brand is based on the union of 10 local artisans who make each knife by hand.

The model presented is made by:

Mr. Masanobu Okada
Born in the city of Echizen in 1949, the third generation of forging artisans, he is one of the few living heirs of the "masaoki-ho" typical of Echizen, a forging technique that consists in hammering and folding the steel giving it a rhomboid shape for get a thinner, sharper and easier to sharpen steel sheet.

Initially specialized in the production of agricultural tools with the Monjiro brand, in recent times he began to produce artisanal kitchen knives with the traditional "uchi-hamono" technique, also receiving the title of Dentoukougeishi (traditional craftsman) after having undergone the strict examinations of the commission of the Traditional Crafts Industry Promotion Association Foundation.

The uchi-hamono technique (uchi means blow and hamono means cutting tool) finds its origins towards the end of the 1300s, in the Muromachi period and consists of manually beating with a hammer and repeatedly a heated steel sheet until a blade of cut. Many tools made with this particular method are still on permanent display at the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.

In a recent interview Mr. Okada said: "I have been engaged with this art for over 45 years, but still today I still think that it is an infinite world where the notions learned never become obsolete and for this I feel I have to transmit them. to the younger generations ". Currently, under his careful guidance, two apprentices are thoroughly learning the blade polishing techniques.

Characteristics of the knife:

Use: meat / fish

Blade: CladSteel carbon steel with cutting edge in White Paper Steel (Shirogami) at 62 / 64HRC and damascus with 67 layers
Provenance Lama: Japanese craftsmanship
Handle: SandalWood, very hard and water resistant wood
Packaging: in cardboard with Japanese writing
Blade length: 265mm
Total length: 410mm
Blade thickness: from 3.5mm to 3mm
Handle Length: 139mm
Weight: 178g

* Not every knife is signed on the blade by the craftsman who made it

Maintenance:
Considering the high carbon steel used for the blade and the extreme construction quality of these knives, we recommend a series of attentions to be followed to maintain the quality of the product over time.

- Never put the knife in the dishwasher
- Rinse the knife with hot water before first use
- Rinse the knife immediately after each use without aggressive dishwashing detergent and dry with a soft cloth (always starting at the back of the cutting edge)
- Aggressive foods such as lemon juice must be promptly rinsed immediately after use
- Do not use glass or granite plates as a cutting support. Use only wooden bases
- Pay attention that the cutting edge of the knife does not come into contact with other metal objects during its storage to avoid damage to the cutting edge.

Black, sharp and unsurpassed, a series with a unique design that meets pure dynamism.
The WÜSTHOF Performer Knife series proves its worth with every use: exceptional quality for very high performance. The ultra-hard blade, coated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) guarantees low friction and perfect sliding of the blade during cutting. The non-slip honeycomb structure of the Hexagon Power Grip guarantees extreme control. This knife will win you over for a lifetime!

The cut of the Performer knives flows through the food with almost no friction. Thanks to the particularly low friction, the non-stick properties of the diamond-like coating and the lotus effect of the black surface, the particles simply roll off the blade. Freshly cut pieces of food, such as slices of an onion, slip away: an ideal situation when speed and precision are required in moments of intense activity in the kitchen.

Thanks to the hydrophobic effect, all liquids flow away, including citrus acids, as well as fats or starches from potatoes.
The DLC was originally employed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife.
USE: vegetables, meat, fish
FEATURES:

- Diamond-like carbon coating increases surface hardness to 104 Rockwells
- Thanks to this coating, the knife glides effortlessly through the food
- Newly developed Hexagon Power Grip with anti-slip honeycomb structure
- Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF stainless steel
- Forged in Solingen, Germany
DIMENSIONS:

- Blade length 20 cm
- Total length 34 cm
- Weight: 257 gr.

Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extreme performance.

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade, being extremely hard and durable, is the highest quality in the knife market. The almost magical black coating increases the surface hardness of WÜSTHOF steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell.

For connoisseurs, this means a significant benefit in terms of performance: its extreme robustness makes it practically immune to adverse external effects and the diamond surface is also extremely heat resistant.

The DLC was originally developed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife with holder.

The shape of the Chinese blade with a new look and in WÜSTHOF quality: the Chai Dao combines the shape of a Santoku with that of a Chinese cutting knife. However, it adopts not only the shape but also the functionality of the two models. Thanks to the slightly curved shape of the blade, the Chai Dao is suitable for both cutting and shredding, especially for a fluid rock cut. Since this knife is particularly finely ground towards the cutting edge, it should not be used for cutting bones; instead we recommend our European cleaver or butcher's knife.

- 14 cm blade

Handles: made of synthetic material and joined with a triple riveting ensure a perfect seal, excellent stability and guarantee dishwasher safe.
The Blades: are obtained using the best steels and combining the most qualified elements (chromium 15% - carbon 0.5% - molybdenum - vanadium).
The realization of a WUSTHOF forged knife requires the passage of about 40 processing cycles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:

- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher bump other objects; the blades could be damaged.

- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).

- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image). This marking guarantees the purchaser to have the certainty of quality, traceability, guarantee over the years and a future privileged assistance on the product purchased from Coltelleria Collini.
