Knives in the video
Looking for the best Japanese knives, I have tested? Here is a complete list of the knives I have used this year that I worth considering if you are looking to buy a Japanese knife. Japanese knives are extremely sharp and easy to sharpen and will last a lifetime if you take good care of them. I have never used knives that outperform a properly made Japanese knife, and that is why they will always be the knives I use in my kitchen.
In this video, I feature knives from Yu Kurosaki, Anryu, Nigara, Kato Workhorse, Nakamura, and Saji, who are all master knife makers and are well-respected in Japan and in the knife world.
