* The grind on these knives is very thin, performance is extremely high but care is required to prevent chipping or cracking.
* High carbon knives will change colour (patina), they require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust.
* As our Japanese chef knives are hand-made, small variations in size and appearance may occur, and measurements and images are a guide only.

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
