Kanso - Sidekicks N°1

Kanso No.1

Get to the basics of the knife with the Kanso.
No frills, a sharp blade and a refined handle, bringing out the quality of the finish and the beauty of the wood. All based on the Japanese notion of Kanso:

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

Handmade in France with passion.
Sharpened by me before shipping.

Acolytes are pairs of knives with the same antlers, but opposite in placement.

Sleeve:

Vinified oak: Unique wood, having aged in wine barrels, giving it deep red and purple hues and a rich history. Oak symbolizes strength, stability and longevity.

Oak: Noble and robust wood, characterized by its color ranging from light to dark brown and its distinctive grain. Oak symbolizes strength, stability and longevity.

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.
