Ruitai Kitchen Knives: Your Premier Source for Custom Kitchen Knives Set from China
Japanese chef knives differ significantly from common chef knives in several ways.
First of all, Japanese chef knives are known for their unparalleled sharpness. This is mainly due to the high hardness of its material and the design of the blade angle. VG-10 steel, commonly used in Japanese kitchen knives, has a hardness value of 60+, and even higher-end powder steel has a hardness of up to 62. In addition, the blade angle of Japanese knives is generally 10-16°. A smaller blade angle means a smaller cutting path and less damage to food. This design is especially important when processing sashimi, as it can reduce damage to the cell wall and maintain the original flavor of the ingredients.
In terms of types of knives, Japanese chef's knives include various types such as deblade, willow blade, and thin blade. The Deza is one of the most important Japanese swords, used for cutting fish. Its blade has a large angle and a thick back, suitable for chopping bones. The willow blade is used to slice fish. It is shaped like a willow leaf, has a slender blade and is extremely sharp. The thin blade is specially used for processing vegetables, and can be peeled, shredded, and carved.
In contrast, common chef's knives are designed to be more versatile and durable. Their blades are generally wider and suitable for a variety of cutting tasks, including slicing, dicing, and chopping. Common chef knives may not be as hard as Japanese chef knives, so they may be slightly less sharp, but they are more durable and more suitable for long-term, high-intensity cooking work.
In general, there are obvious differences between Japanese chef's knives and common chef's knives in terms of material, design, and use. Which knife you choose depends largely on your personal cooking needs and preferences. If you're looking for ultimate sharpness and fine handling of ingredients, a Japanese chef's knife may be more suitable for you; whereas if you need a durable and versatile knife, a common chef's knife may be more suitable.
