JCK Natures SAKURA ROAD Aogami Super Series Petty & Santoku (SAKURA-2Pcs Knife Set)
Ā Our “JCK Natures” house brand knives have proven to be some of JCKās most popular knives. Each one of them has a unique appearance, fine characteristics and offers great value for money. Our JCK Natures Knives are a fusion of the craftsmanās special artistic techniques and the magnificent scenery of almighty nature.
Every Spring season, the arrival of the beautifulĀ SakuraĀ (Cherry tree blossom) is a special moment for the people of Japan.Ā TheĀ SakuraĀ bring so many different things to the Japanese people, Japanese scenery and Japanese culture. Although theĀ SakuraĀ only last for a short period each year, it is always one of the most beautiful moments and we will never forget it.
The JCK NaturesĀ āSakura RoadāĀ AogamiĀ Super Series will always remind us of the special Cherry Blossom season and their high cutting performance will leave a similarly great, long-lasting impact.
The blade core is made from Japanās premium high carbon steel, HitachiĀ AogamiĀ SuperĀ (āBlue Super Steelā. HRc. 63 to 64) and it is sandwiched between two layers of soft, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. These knives should not require a lot of maintenance, but the exposed blade core can discolor or rust if it is exposed to acid, salt or water for an extended period of time. AogamiĀ Super (āSuper Blue Steelā) is a premier-quality JapaneseĀ HaganeĀ (Blade edge steel) and it has a rich chemical composition, Including high quantities of Carbon (1.40 to 1.50), a little Chromium (0.30 to 0.50) and Tungsten (2.00 to 2.50). When it is properly forged and heat treated, this chemistry enables the steel to provide exceptional edge retention and edge stability.
Ā
The experienced craftsmen wanted to maximize the cutting performance offered by this premium carbon steel; In addition to careful heat treatment, they took extra care during the hand-grinding and hand-sharpening processes because they wanted to create thin cutting edges and even 50/50 edge geometry.
Ā
The combination of handle materials āRed and Black Pakka Wood, Stainless Steel Bolster and Shinning Polished Copper Ringā remind us of the beautiful SAKURA season and the freshness of Spring each time weĀ see or handle these knives.
This is the versatile and special knife set (including the Petty and Santoku), which we can highly recommend them as special gift for your special person and for serious home chefs.
A mainstay of professional Western kitchens, the Petty knife is a small general-purpose knife used for peeling, shaping, and slicing fruits and vegetables, chopping herbs, and making garnishes. The compact size and relatively narrow blade of the Petty knife mean that it is very nimble and controllable, thus it is ideal for making precise cuts.
Ā
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence itās name, which literally means āThree-purposeā. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

- We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.
