Kanso N°7 - Warmed beech / Ziricote

Kanso No.7

Get to the basics of the knife with the Kanso. No frills, stripped of everything superfluous. A blade and a handle.

Kanso is a Japanese concept that can be summarized as follows:

Kanso (簡素) : Simplicity, stripping away everything superfluous, highlighting the essential.

Handmade in France with passion.

Sharpened by me before shipping.

Sleeve:

Warmed Beech: Unique wood, marked by dark veins and patterns created by a natural mushroom process. Beech symbolizes simplicity and solidity.

Ziricote: Exotic and luxurious wood, known for its unique dark grain patterns on a medium brown to black background. Ziricote symbolizes elegance and exclusivity.

Blade:

9cm stainless steel blade, thin and versatile.

I chose these blades from Pallarès Solsona, founded in 1917 in Spain, for their refined design but not only that.

These blades rocked my childhood and adolescence, this forge being based 1 hour from my home, these versatile blades were everywhere around me, they are easy to sharpen and I have always appreciated their sharpness and their aesthetics.

As the wood is always different, each knife is completely unique and may vary from the model shown in the image.
