PREMIUM JAPANESE COLLECTION

Waarom de Minato-collectie?

Niet alle Japanse messen zijn gelijk gemaakt. De Minato-serie maakt gebruik van nauwkeurig gesmeed AUS10-staal met met de hand afgewerkte messen in een duizelingwekkende hoek van 15 graden. Het resultaat? Professionele scherpte die lang meegaat.

Scalpel-Like Sharpness That Lasts

Most kitchen knives test at 210N sharpness. The Minato series? Below 100N—meaning they're literally twice as sharp as standard knives, with a mirror-polished 15° edge angle that glides through ingredients effortlessly.

  • Tested below 100N sharpness (vs 210N average)
  • 60+/-2 HRC hardness for exceptional edge retention
  • 15° edge angle vs 20-25° on standard knives
  • Precision-forged AUS10 steel with multi layer construction

3 Reasons You Might NOT Want This Set

Radical transparency—this collection isn't for everyone.

You Want Dishwasher-Safe

High-carbon steel requires hand washing and proper drying. If you need knives you can throw in the dishwasher, stick with stamped steel. Premium blades need 30 seconds of care after each use.

You're Looking for Budget Knives

Precision-forged AUS10 steel with hand-finished edges costs more than factory knives. But you'll never need to replace these—they're investment pieces that last a lifetime with proper care.

You Expect Zero Maintenance

High-carbon steel can develop a patina and needs occasional honing. If you want knives that require absolutely nothing beyond washing, stick with low-maintenance stainless. Premium performance requires minimal upkeep.

Minato AUS10 vs. Standard Kitchen Knives

Here's what separates premium Japanese steel from factory knives

Standard Kitchen Knives

Low-Carbon Stainless
  • Factory-stamped, mass produced
  • 20-25° edge angle (less sharp)
  • 210N+ sharpness testing
  • 50-55 HRC hardness (dulls quickly)
  • 2.5mm+ thick blades (heavy, clumsy)
  • Generic appearance

Minato Collection

Precision-Forged AUS10
  • Precision-forged, hand-finished
  • 15° razor-sharp edge angle
  • <100N sharpness (2x sharper)
  • 60+/-2 HRC hardness (stays sharp)
  • Tapered 1.35-2mm blade (lightweight)
  • Beautiful mirror-polished finish

Award-Winning Quality

The Minato collection has been recognized by leading culinary publications for exceptional quality and performance. Featured in The Strategist's "Best Chef's Knives" and trusted by professional chefs worldwide.

AUS10 Steel Composition

What Makes AUS10 Special?

AUS10 is a premium Japanese stainless steel alloy specifically designed for high-performance cutlery. With higher carbon content than standard steel and added elements for corrosion resistance, it achieves the perfect balance: razor-sharp, stays sharp, won't rust.

  • High carbon content for superior edge retention
  • Chromium for rust and corrosion resistance
  • Nitrogen-cooled for enhanced durability
  • 60+/-2 HRC hardness rating (professional-grade)

Precision-Forged Blades

Each Minato blade is precision-forged from a single piece of AUS10 steel with a multi layer construction for optimal strength. This forging process creates a blade that's incredibly strong yet lightweight, with perfect balance from tip to handle. The result is a knife that feels like an extension of your hand.

  • Forged from single-piece AUS10 steel
  • multi-layer construction for optimal strength
  • Tapered blade for reduced weight and better control
  • Perfect balance point for comfortable extended use
Precision Forging
15-Degree Edge Angle

Mirror-Polished 15° Edge

Standard Western knives have a 20-25° edge angle. Japanese knives go sharper at 15°. Each Minato blade is hand-finished to a mirror polish at precisely 15°— meaning less force, cleaner cuts, and less cell damage to your ingredients.

  • Scalpel-like precision for delicate work
  • Glides through ingredients with minimal pressure
  • Reduces bruising in soft fruits and vegetables
  • Professional sharpness straight out of the box

Natural Rosewood

While others use synthetic materials, we chose genuine Rosewood—prized for its rich color and natural durability. Each handle is shaped for ergonomic comfort, sealed with high-temperature wax for water resistance, and polished to a lustrous finish. The result? Superior grip, beautiful aesthetics, and remarkable longevity.

  • Genuine Rosewood hardwood (not composite)
  • Ergonomically shaped for comfort and control
  • High-temperature wax sealed (water resistant)
  • Hidden tang construction for strength

The Numbers Behind the Performance

These specifications aren't marketing fluff—they're the result of precision engineering and rigorous testing

<100N

Sharpness Test

SGS Swiss testing confirms sharpness below 100N—more than twice as sharp as the average kitchen knife (210N)

60

Rockwell Hardness

HRC 60+/-2 provides the perfect balance—hard enough to hold an edge, soft enough to avoid brittleness

15°

Edge Angle

Hand-finished to a mirror polish at 15° angle—significantly sharper than Western knives' 20-25° edges
