Glestain ceramic mass
Ceramic paste is used to maintain the sharpness of kitchen knives. Its innovative hexagonal shape allows you to achieve satisfactory results even without prior experience. This paste is made by bonding ceramics and very fine abrasive grains that straighten the edge of your knife and thus prolong its sharpness.
Method of use: Masat is used by gently dragging the blade of the knife over its surface, smoothing out all the irregularities that appear on the blade during daily use of the knife. The angle we use should be as close as possible to the angle at which the knife itself is sharpened (about 15 degrees) in order to get the best results. Unlike steel, we can maintain both Japanese and European knives on ceramic masat, that is, even the hardest steels used to make knives.
Attention: A completely blunt knife cannot be sharpened on ceramic massat, but it is used as a tool to maintain the sharpness of the knife. With proper and regular use, you can significantly extend the life of your knife's sharpness. Professionals use masata up to several times during a work shift, while for home use 2-3 times a week is enough if you cook regularly.
Note: Do not drop the masat because the ceramic is fragile.
Material: ceramic
Dimensions : total length 400mm, length of the ceramic part 280mm

How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
