Story: Crafting and Cutting with Japanese Knives
Episode: 4
Presenter: Stuart Laws
Air Date: 9th July

Stuart shows off the possibilities with one of the finest tools a chef could hope to buy - a professional Japanese kitchen knife - from a company dedicated to delivering Japan’s best to Australians all over.

• Japanese knives are recognised as being some of the world’s highest quality tools for the kitchen. The artisans that craft them dedicate their entire lives to honing their craft.
• There are multiple knife making regions of Japan, which draw on the knowledge from edged tool and Samurai sword making methods from the 1200’s.
• Some of these artisans are 8th generation blacksmiths. The knives produced in small quantities each year are seen as art as much as functional pieces for kitchen use.
• Chef’s Edge works directly with these artisans to support them in their pursuit of excellence and their continuation of these traditional crafts. Despite their adherence to traditional methods, the artisana are always curious to hear the end user’s feedback on their knives.
• Chef’s Edge cultivates strong working relationships with particular artisans to ensure the finest chef knives Japan has to offer are available to the Australian market at affordable prices.
