Japanese chef’s knives are some of the most expensive knives in the world. Just one knife produced at Takamura Hamono in Echizen, Japan can cost $900. Echizen has been the center of Japanese knife making for hundreds of years, and today, it’s where many artisans spend decades learning to make high-quality cutlery. At Takamura Hamono, artisans spend over 10 years learning how to properly hammer, sharpen, and polish each blade. The knives are used in many of the world’s best restaurants, including noma in Copenhagen and Le Bernardin in New York City.

@user-bd4ds2ln1z Год назад

Japanese culture values accumulation, so I think it's good at making crafts like this, but on the other hand, I feel like it's vulnerable to new things like innovation. For example, even if a young company can do government work cheaper than a large company with the same quality, the government will choose a large company that is reliable and has a proven track record. Even if it increases the cost. I feel that there is less competition in Japan than in other Western countries. That's why there are so many dying black companies in Japan, and I think the presidents are mostly elderly people with dementia who only have a track record.　Yoshiro Mori is a good example of that.

Very nice. Reverence to the workmanship.

@KittenBowl1 Год назад

In Japan, a craftsman who seeks money and not craftsmanship isn’t a craftsman. They can’t become craftsmen they die out from the Japanese society as we don’t approve such fakes. We hate everything fakes if you aren’t aware of this fact about Japan. It’s actually illegal to sell anything counterfeit also. The thing is money will just simply follow those who are truly excellent. And if you are a craftsman in Japan it’s considered taboo and will be looked down if you seek money before you are an excellent craftsman.

Respect to this man. My aunt married into a family that made Japanese gardening shears in Kyoto for generations, but my uncle ruined the business. He got lazy and gave up the craft and tried to make a living as an antiques dealer instead. The name of his family’s brand was famous and respected but it will die with him, tarnished by his mishandling and sleazy business practices. It’s one thing for one person to be dedicated and sincere - for these families that can keep that going for multiple generations by passing the torch and not letting it burn out - that deserves true respect.

@chinkasuyaro8983 Год назад

While I respect the artisanry and ability to keep a family business running over generations, there is often immense pressure, especially on eldest sons, to forgo any personal professional ambitions outside of the family business. While not impossible to break away and have a younger sibling take over or allow the husband of a female sibling to be adopted into the family name, there is still a lot of pressure and expectation.

@Chzydawg Год назад

My favourite knife, and my daily driver for kitchen use is a Takamura Sumingashi 240mm WaGyuto. I don't want to say it's the best knife I've ever used, because it's a lie (I used to have Konosuke Sakai Honyaki wagyuto, was stolen) but it's my workhorse and I love it. They've obviously got quite popular since and it's hard to replace as it's more of a slicer these days than a chef knife, but glad to hear what a big name they've become!

Chinese. “Quantity over quality “

@decidrophob 3 года назад

Seriously speaking, those pieces of technology that are regarded replaceable by mass production mostly moved to China. The chemistry of steel in hand-made knives still looks somewhat irreplaceable with the mass-produced ones "yet", which is one factor for this particular sector having survived. The market size would have been much smaller if the craftsmanship were evaluated solely for its brand image. The similar goes for hand-made noodles of soba or udon in Japan. The molecular textures are known to be empirically different when you make noodles by hand. And there is pretty big market for such very expensive hand-made noodles in Japan.

@Phantom-el6oe 3 года назад

@@decidrophob The superiority of hand-made things over mass-production is pure fanboy bullsh*t. Mass-production often aims for masses and is focused about being cheap (quantity), while hand-production is often focused on producing expensive things (quality). A human can NEVER reach the level of precision of a proper industrial machine. However, those machines cost lots of money and investors might not find the market to be appealing or profitable

@decidrophob 3 года назад

@@Phantom-el6oe Well, if what you say is true, there should be sufficient market for industrialized high-quality noodles replacing hand-made noodles in Japan. The market size is large enough. (I do not argue for knives since the luxurious knife market may be too tiny for sophisticated machinery investment as you seem to imply). Empirically, such has not been possible yet. I am not arguing that it will have been impossible into the long distant future, but for decades even after the modernization of Japan, it has been impossible to copy the molecular structure of hand-made soba or udon onto machines.

@mr.nemesis6442 3 года назад

@@Phantom-el6oe nah experience can sometimes outcompete chemistry. This is because people have been doing the same things for thousands of years and learned how to smooth out the edges. Take the British L86 of example, the engineers designing the gun made some fatal error in its design because the math checks out. This is because nobody on that team has even shot or designed a rifle before. Those things would jam like crazy when in the desert. They eventually had to hire H&K, a world famous gun manufacturer, to fix the issues. You have to combine the two.

I bought a knife like this in Kyoto. It was from a small family-owned shop on a quiet street, and the owner sharpened knives on a wheel at the front. The knives were all strikingly beautiful, with various shades of rippled steel and raw wooden handles; as much ornaments to behold as instruments to slice with. The owner helped me choose a knife (I know nothing) and I watched as he sharpened it at the front. Afterward, he sliced some paper to demonstrate-it glided through like a shark fin through still water. He asked me my name, then chiseled it in Japanese characters into the side of the blade before wrapping it carefully in a black box with manila paper. This was a couple of years ago; I still use the knife every single day. I don't sharpen it often enough, so its edge isn't what it was-it no longer effortlessly makes paper out of tomatoes-but I cherish my Japanese chef's knife, and it's something I'll keep for a very long time.

@denimnoir6163 2 года назад

Just to be clear, a knife being sharp doesn't make it good, it's how long it retains it's edge. That's what so special about these knives. You could sharpen raw iron to the same degree, but these knives hold that edge so well that it's astonishing.

@brunomarcato4591 2 года назад

That's true, it's like how a few katana had a hardness of 75 rockwell. They keep their sharpness very well, and instead of breaking they bend, like explained in the video. And there is also a neat thing about antique Brittish sabers that is quite close to this level of knife-making: Their military swords were subjected to VERY extreme testing, from their elasticity to their edge retention. Some swords were such good springs that thy coud be bent nearly 90º and return to their original shape. If you're interested in history and sword videos, Scholagladiatoria has very good ones about katanas and other antique swords!

@BuffaloNickel9 2 года назад

Yep you guys get it about the higher the Rockwell number, but with that it can also be more brittle and Chip more easily... Although, none of my Japanese Customs have ever chipped because I don't chop hard foods/objects with them... I do not own swords- I am only speaking about kitchen blades and modern folding knives. Japanese Chef knives are incredible in Damascus Etc, but they will NOT retain their razor edges as long as a supersteels like in M390 or 20cv, CTS-204P Maxamet, Vanax Superclean, Magnacut, S90/110v ( there are several other super-steels with crazy long edge retention also) .. so does Japanese Damascus have the longest Edge retention out there as the video implied? Heck no... Do they hold their edges longer than 90% of knives out there when properly sharpened to a razor edge? Yes! Although Edge retention is one of the main factors for me, I understand there are many other factors besides just Edge retention. Like the balance and craftsmanship that make me prefer my Japanese damascus customs over the M390 that actually holds the razor edge longer in the kitchen.. The Japanese dedicate their lives to their craft it's a very beautiful thing! Works of art and Dedication

@gibsonflyingv2820 2 года назад

That's only partly true, iron would be very very very difficult to sharpen to the same degree as high quality steel is, sharpness comes down to technique, and retaining an edge is very important, but its also a determining factor in how it cuts so the two in a way are quite intertwined. However, the sharpness and how well a blade cuts are down to the maker, and using good steel allows that easier.

@alecasone 2 года назад

eh. Shirogami sharpens fairly easily, it doesn't retain an edge like sintered steels. Hap40/SLD/etc absolutely dwarf mainbrand hitachi steels in terms of edge retention. Aogami & aogami super are both pretty hard and retain a nice edge through light abuse, they're also easy to sharpen with no carbides. Getting a knife with superior steel to your typical "japanese" steels for cheaper isn't extremely hard, just takes a tiny amount of research. Most people couldn't tell a properly treated VG10 from aogami anyways, much less some chinese 8Cr16MoV.

@gibsonflyingv2820 2 года назад

That's just nonsense you heard from "Shadveristy" but none of it is true, Iron does not have the properties fit to create the geometry which gives birth to a super sharp blade. Sharpness is relative, an axe is sharp for cutting wood, but is absolutely terrible at slicing or piercing cuts. Its the blade geometry, grind and finish that determines how a blade cuts, and how sharp it is for cutting said application.
