The current centers of production and end cutlery kitchen knife all have a very important thing in common. This is a long history in the art of making steel and were all centers for each country in trade sword. More recently, this "center of the sword" to have "personal care" centers as well.

There are many "centers" in several countries, Thiers in France, England and Sheffield Toledo in Spain are good examples. The twoGiants are now in Solingen in Germany and Japan Seki. These two cities that will host a variety of brands and are home to razor blades, scissors and personal care companies as well.

In Germany, several companies of the city of Solingen are home to some famous companies. JA Henckels, Wustoff, Dovo, Boker, Victorinox FDick and all companies of international repute. Many of these companies are directly to do with the sword when he returns to the place.

InSeki find a similar situation, its connection to the centuries old craft with the famous sword "Samurai." When swords were banned in 1876, the local blacksmith to cutlery turned and began manufacturing kitchen knives. Today some of the industry leaders by Kai, Mac, Kasumi, Kanetsume, Global, and a number of American companies whose diameters are also here.

One of the largest companies in Seki, the team of Kai. It 'started in 1908 as a small manufacturer of pocket knives. Along theIt 'was taken in diameter and body care. Today there are several areas, and is a giant in the cookware department of fine kitchen knife. It is interesting to note that in 1980 they established a department in Solingen in Germany.

JA Henckels, the famous German company famous "Twins" retaliated with the foundation of society as Miyabi Seki in 2004. Their Japanese knife line combines the best of German steel production with the beauty and grace of Japanese art. SteelForging Seki took its steel production to an art form and made of steel much harder than their German cousins.

Which is better? There is a trade-off, the high-end German and Japanese knives are made to be beautiful. Both come from the factory with very sharp blades. Over time the softer steel knives dull faster than their more difficult.

The kicker is this, to raise steel to a German, 20 degrees of the dull blade requires less effort. Five minuteson a 1000 grit stone, an iron, and maybe a pendant and you're back in business. Compared to the difficult Japanese steel 15-degree bevel, the 1000 grit stone and then a 6000 grit water stone in order to polish the edge and back more narrowly than necessary. A professional can quickly help an amateur can easily knife more boring than it was. In fact, the Japanese companies recommend that most are returned for sharpening knives.

This wasSimplified a bit, 'as many knives from Seki, and both are made in Solingen steel harder and softer. Today science more than ever, so much a technology in developing countries steels that any company can develop the best product for the consumer is buying.

The JA Henckels Professional, Henckels Miyabi 5000 and 7000 lines and Kai Shun Classic knives and collectors are all equally funny, my eye. Moreover, it should depend on yourTaste. In two decisions that will actually get a very high quality.
