About the Shape - Pankiri

The Pankiri (パン切) is essentially a bread knife with a unique Japanese touch. The term “Pankiri” is derived from the Japanese words “Pan”, meaning bread, and “Kiri”, meaning to slice. This knife is characterized by its long, serrated blade, designed specifically for slicing bread. However, it’s not limited to just bread; it can also handle other ingredients like soft fruits and vegetables.

About the Steel - Molybdenum

Molybdenum refers to steel that is alloyed with molybdenum (Mo), which increases the strength of the steel at high temperatures, making it more resistant to wear and tear. It also improves the grain structure of the steel, which enhances its resistance to corrosion. This makes molybdenum steel a popular choice for kitchen knives, as these properties are highly beneficial for a tool that is frequently used and exposed to various elements.
