The Kazoku Mayonaka is a carbon steel knife for the demanding chef who wants their knives razor-sharp. Carbon steel can be sharpened much more than stainless steel and is also easy to keep sharp. The core is protected by two layers of stainless steel, making the knife less prone to rust. The knife features a beautiful distal taper, meaning it starts thick and gradually becomes thinner. This makes the knife less fragile and allows for very precise cutting.

Unlike the Kazoku Kage, the Kazoku Mayonaka has a Western-style handle made of walnut wood. This handle provides excellent grip and control, suitable for both left- and right-handed use.

  • Aogami 2 steel
  • Protective layers of stainless steel
  • Western-style walnut wood handle

Petty

This Petty is the Japanese counterpart to a Western paring/vegetable knife. It features a narrow blade for quick, efficient cutting of small vegetables and fruits. The sharp tip aids in precision. A paring knife/Petty is a must-have in any serious cook's knife set.

Aogami Carbon Steel

This knife is made from Japanese Aogami #2 steel (62 Hrc), a carbon steel that's easy to sharpen and maintain. It must be thoroughly dried after each use to ensure longevity. When well-maintained, it cuts finer than any stainless steel knife. You may notice a patina forming on the core steel, leading to discoloration, which, fortunately, protects against rust.

Stainless Cladding

Stainless steel cladding acts as a solid, reliable veneer for your knife. NUMBER layers of stainless steel protect the core steel, keeping the knife in excellent condition while allowing flexibility.

Carbon Steel

This knife is made from carbon steel, requiring more maintenance than stainless steel. It sharpens more easily than stainless steel but can rust without proper care. Carbon steel knives also form a patina when used, which slightly protects against rust but discolors the steel. Patina is a natural process, giving the blade a unique character. Read more about carbon steel on the following page: All about carbon steel.

Nashiji

This knife features a Nashiji finish, with a rough texture that gives the blade a distinct design and helps with food release.

Western Yo Handle

"Yo" is the Japanese term for a traditional Western handle. Western handles, characterized by a flatter, denser design, offer a familiar feel to those accustomed to cutting with European or American knives. Yo handles are typically heavier than knives with Wa handles.
