Our "JCK Natures" house brand knives have proven to be some of JCK’s 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 craftsman’s special artistic techniques and the magnificent scenery of almighty nature. At the beginning of the year 2020, these JCK Natures 青雲 "Blue Clouds VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus" knives have finally been finished, and we are very excited to introduce and offer these new products to you. The "Blue Clouds" knives have an impressive mirror polished blade with a Tsuchime Hammered Texture and total of 33 beautiful Damascus layers. The rust-resistant VG-10 High Carbon Stainless Steel blade core is clad with many layers of beautiful Damascus. Heat treated to HRc. 60-61, the double bevel edged blade has a 50/50 symmetrical grind.
The Sophisticated Royal Blue-Purple Pakka Wood Handle Scales beautifully match the mirror polished VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus blade , they are also strong and resist both water and shrinkage and the knives have an excellent overall level of fit & finish and quality. The combination of the stylish blade and attractive blue handle reminded me of a beautiful, expansive sky and clouds, hence the name "Blue Clouds" 青雲.
These knives feature a full-tang construction, a forged stainless steel bolster and stainless steel handle rivets / pins.We especially recommend our JCK Natures "Blue Clouds" Knives to customers who are considering buying their first Japanese knife and want to own a moderately priced, high quality, practical, attractive and very fashionable knife.
This is the versatile and special knife set (including the Petty 135mm and Santoku 180mm), 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.
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 it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.
PolandI have been using this two daily for 3 years. They are easy to resharpen and maintain. After this time they still look almost new. I wish that petty knife could be a little smoother and have a more aggressive profile but my wife loves this one.
United StatesThe knives are beautiful, very good quality, and pretty sharp. I bought them as a gift for my boyfriend and he really enjoys using them.
United StatesThis is my second purchase of JCK knives, having purchased JCK CarboNext Gyoto via Amazon earlier. This set is only available directly from japanesechefsknife.com website. Delivery was quick, took just a few days to ship from Japan to US. Both knives look great, have comfortable handles, and were fairly sharp out of the box, although I felt that they could be sharper. Few passes on a whetstone and a strop, and they were razor sharp! I've been using both knives for over a month now, and they hold a sharp edge still. Great purchase!
United StatesI have bought several JKC knives in the past decade. They are all great and hold up better than any other.
United StatesI purchased this item as a gift for my mother who is a smaller woman. This set is the perfect size for her, and she is amazed at the quality. Even though these would be considered an entry level set, I would put these up against many of the more expensive lines of well-known mass-produced brands. I highly recommend knives from JKC, once you go down the road of quality Japanese steel, you will not go back.
