In honor of the upcoming Mother’s Day, we’re super thrilled to partner with our friends at MTC Kitchen to give away a set of their popular gyuto chef’s knife and hinoki (Japanese cypress) cutting board. The two essential kitchen tools will make a practical (and meaningful) gift for the moms who cook and nourish us everyday. Three (3) lucky winners will be selected, so enter for your chance to win now.
Win a Set of Gyuto Knife & Hinoki Cutting Board
Each winner will receive a gyuto (chef’s) knife and a hikono cutting board: Sakai Takayuki Damascus Hammered VG-10 Gyuto 180mm (7.1″) The gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western chef’s knife but the blade is thinner and holds a sharper edge. This knife is made with a VG10 core, and hammered to produce a 33 layer damascus pattern. VG10 is one of the best stain resistant steels used for blades, and this knife has an excellent cutting edge as well as edge retention. Excellent for everyday use such as chopping, mincing and slicing meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. Hikoni Cutting Board Hinoki, or Japanese Cypress, is a single-piece soft wood from the conifer family. Due to its pleasant aroma when wet and natural resistance to rot, fungus and other bacteria it is commonly found in traditional Japanese bathhouses called onsen. Hinoki, like other conifers such as cedar or redwood is dimensionally stable, soft and tough, so it will resist warping and cracking that is common in other woods. Its softness is beneficial when using hard, thin Japanese knives. this will allow the edge to last longer and mitigate risk of damage. This single-piece Hinoki cutting board is the optimal choice for stability, but it is increasingly becoming more difficult to provide a larger size cutting board as larger trees are much more difficult to find these days.
