HAP-40 DAMASCUS 210 MM
Hayabusa Gyuto HAP-40 Damascus 210 mm svestrani je japanski kuhinjski nož, pogodan za pripremu mesa, ribe i povrća. Nož je bez kompromisa prožet futurističkim duhom. Ima klasičnu dršku zapadnog tipa i jedinstvenog je izgleda. Valovite krivulje damaščanskog uzorka oštre su i strme i podsjećaju na visokofrekventne valove koji se izmjenjuju i ponavljaju poput vertikalnih i beskonačnih pokreta pri sjeckanju.
Izrađen je od čelika HAP-40, jednog od tehnološki najnaprednijih čelika, poznatom, prije svega, po iznimnoj tvrdoći i finoj oštrini koju zadrži jakooo dugo. Ako vam brušenje doista nije najomiljeniji zadatak, ovaj je nož savršen za vas jer će mu brusno kamenje rijetko nedostajati.
Hayabusa gyuto je također ime sokola selice (ハヤブサ), najbržeg pripadnika životinjskog carstva. Ovim nožem možda nećete postići brzinu iznad 350 km/h, ali sjeckanje njime učinit će vam se jako brzim!
OBLIK OŠTRICE:Gyuto oblik u prijevodu znači »kravlji-mač« koji je u prošlosti bio namijenjen komadanju goveđeg mesa. Danas je gyuto oblik namijenjen svakodnevnom rezanju mesa ili povrća te je japanski oblik »chef's« noža. Oštrica je dvostrano brušena te prikladna za ljevake i dešnjake.
ČELIK:Tajna ovog noža je u vrlo tvrdoj jezgri, izrađenoj od, barem za kuhinjske noževe, još ponešto egzotičnog Hitachijevog HAP-40 čelika koji pripada skupini modernih i tehnološko naprednih čelika. Kompozicija i mikrostruktura čelika omogućuju izvanredno finu i dugotrajnu oštrinu, a zanimljivo je da praškasti čelik sadrži neobično malo kroma (oko 4%) te se u specifičnim okolnostima ponaša slično kao visokougljični čelici. Ovaj je čelik termički obrađen do nevjerojatnih 67 HRC, no unatoč tome brušenje neće biti problem.
LAMINACIJA:Jezgra noža, iskovana od tvrdog HAP-40 čelika, omotana je slojevima mekšeg čelika koji se međusobno prepliću tvoreći višeslojni uzorak. Ovakvu tehniku kovanja noževa nazivamo san-mai damascus i osim kozmetičke funkcije pridonosi i fleksibilnosti oštrice. Na taj način štitimo tvrdu, ali nešto osjetljiviju jezgru od vanjskih utjecaja poput oštećenja.
GEOMETRIJA OŠTRICE:Nož je dvostrano brušen (simetrično).
ZAVRŠNI IZGLED:Oštrica je ukrašena jedinstvenim damast uzorkom s oštrim i strmim slojevima koji se prelijevaju i nožu daju futuristički izgled. Hamon (granica između vanjskih slojeva i jezgre oštrice) je iznimno ravnomjerno valovita, što se rijetko viđa kod japanskih noževa.
DRŠKA:Klasični zapadni tip (yo) drške od crne mikarte sa čeličnim zakovicama.
HAP-40 DAMASCUS 210MM (8.3")
Hayabusa Gyuto HAP-40 Damascus 210mm is a multi-purpose Japanese kitchen knife, suited for preparing meat, fish and vegetables. It’s a nonconformist piece that just screams futurism. Featuring a classic western style handle and a brazen look, it’s quite a unique knife. The wavy damascus curves on the blade are sharp and steep, reminiscent of high-frequency waves and synchronous with up-and-down chopping motions.
Made from HAP-40 steel, which is one of the most technologically advanced steels renowned for its extreme hardness, excellent sharpness and edge retention it provides to the knives. If you’re not a fan of sharpening your knives, this one is for you, as you really won’t have to do it often.
Fun fact: Hayabusa gyuto shares its name with the peregrine falcon (ハヤブサ), the fastest member of the animal kingdom. This knife may not reach speeds upwards of 350 km/h, but chopping with it will feel just as fast.
BLADE SHAPE:Gyuto is the most versatile and useful blade shape in the modern kitchen. It has a wide profile for easy food transfer and tends to be fairly flat towards the heel, enabling easy and fast chopping on the cutting board. A pointed tip allows piercing and precise, delicate work. A slight curve between the tip and the midsection makes the belly great for rocking the blade back and forth when cutting. It can be used for cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
STEEL:This knife’s hard core is made of a somewhat exotic and currently one of the most mysterious and attractive steels produced in Japan (at least as far as kitchen knives are concerned): Hitachi’s HAP-40 steel that fits into the category of modern and technologically advanced steels. HAP-40 is fine-grained enough to sharpen very well, and knives from this steel keep their sharpness 3-5 times longer than traditional knives. An interesting fact is that, considering it is a powder steel, it has an extremely small content of chromium (around 4%) and can react as a high-carbon steel in specific circumstances.
LAMINATION:The core layer consisting of the hard HAP-40 steel was sandwiched between two sheets of softer damascus pattern steel. This technique is called san-mai and is used to protect the hard (but delicate) core from outside factors and physical impacts, which could lead to breakage.
GEOMETRY:It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:The blade has a unique damascus finish with sharp and steep curves that give the knife a futuristic appearance. The clad line is interesting as well, with consistent curves that aren’t frequently seen on Japanese knives.
