研ぐを知るUnderstanding knife-sharpening
良い包丁とは、美しい包丁。美しいとは、技巧を凝らした意匠性の高さだけではありません。
しっかりと汚れをとった曇りのない輝きこそ、包丁の美しさ。
A good knife is a thing of beauty. Its beauty is not only about its masterfully crafted design.
An untarnished gleam that comes from thorough cleaning makes a knife beautiful.
研ぎ、磨き、洗い、拭く。
その行程をいかに大切にするかが、真に大切なこと。
職人達の研ぎ姿、砥石の研ぎ音、研ぎ水の揺らぎ、刃先の輝き。
研ぐ−その真髄を、ここ真刀で知ってください。
Sharpen, polish, rinse and wipe.
The important thing is how we value each process. The professional knife sharpener doing his work,
the sound coming from the whetstone, the tremor of water, and the gleam of the knife’s tip;
we hope customers will appreciate the quintessence of knife sharpening from all of the above.
