URUSHI HOCHOS
Combining an ancient tradition of Japanese lacquerware with a fine blade to create a unique masterpiece. In Japan, the art of lacquerware has been developed to ultimate perfection. Japanese artisans have redesigned the magnolia wood handles of the new URUSHI series following this technique. They are coated with deep black urushi* varnish and show highly attractive fine gold decorations on the left side of the handle.
Hard Blue Paper Steel is used for the core cutting layer and low alloyed steels for the outer Suminagashi layers. Every piece is hand signed and packed in a beautiful case made of kiriwood. Polished buffalo horn ferrule.
*Urushi is extracted from the sap of the Japanese varnish tree and has been used for varnishing furniture, bowls, jars and handles for more than 6000 years. Urushi is resistant to water, heat, alcohol, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents and it is non-aging and food-safe. Urushi varnishing is considered the supreme discipline of Japanese art of lacquering.

The ultimate cutting tools: Powder-Metallurgic Steel Kitchen Knives
The Japanese master blacksmith Kazuyui Tanaka processes one of the the hardest blade steel of the world* for his unique kitchen knives. They are characterised not only by their phenomenal sharpness and durability, but also by the fascinating pattern of the 65-layer blade (cutting edge of SG-2 steel), hardness 63°. These masterpieces are finished with handles made of waterproof ironwood, the densest wood in the world, mounted with a nickel silver ferrule. The pinning of the handle scales with rosette-shaped mosaic pins makes the knives real eye-catchers. Despite their top-rate cutting performance, P-M knives are hardwearing due to their rustproof blades, bevelled on both sides, and waterproof handles, making them the first choice among professional chefs.
