Simon trained under artisan bladesmith \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/collections\/martin-huber\"\u003eMartin Huber\u003c\/a\u003e. His work is inspired by local Austrian artists like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/collections\/kamon-knives\"\u003eBenjamin Kamon\u003c\/a\u003e, along with traditional Japanese methods and naturally his former master. The result is a combination of contemporary design, and technique, with the subtle beauty that can only be achieved by polishing knives on whetstones. Aggressive tapered geometry, beautiful, hazy Kasumi polish and consistent stone ready bevels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen we began the discussion with Simon about what an MCX Krichbaum series would look like we wanted to give the knife a unique profile that would set it apart from previous MCX series. However, it needed to be a knife that also embraced the design aesthetics of Simon's typical work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blade we settled on features a slight santoku tip with an aggressive taper at the spine. Each blade is forged 100% by hand in Apex Ultra steel. The blades are finished on whetstones, which gives very consistent and easy to maintain convex bevels. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the handles, I was lucky enough to be able to meet Simon at Martin Huber's shop in Austria and Simon and I found this lovely zebrano wood, which we paired with some beautiful Bog Oak that was borrowed from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/collections\/birch-and-bevel\"\u003eBirch \u0026amp; Bevel\u003c\/a\u003e handle stock. As is now standard with MCX we gave this series a Rokkaku Hanmaru shape, which Simon has given his own unique style to.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSimon has really impressed us with this batch, one of these is absolutely going to be staying in the Modern Cooking collection. We are sure you will enjoy them just as much.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MCx","offers":[{"title":"210mm","offer_id":44489495806217,"sku":"MC-101-731","price":96146.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":false},{"title":"240mm","offer_id":44489495838985,"sku":"MC-101-732","price":96146.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/7273\/5626\/files\/V1-9.jpg?v=1754643642","url":"https:\/\/moderncooking.com\/en-is\/products\/mcx-gyuto-sanmai-kasumi-zebrano-bog-oak","provider":"moderncooking.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
