The knife shop's murmur: Is that thickness and size really necessary?
A knife shop owner in Seki, one of the world's three major knife production areas, who has been honing his skills for over 100 years, murmurs: "Is that machine design necessary for the cutting you require?"
Hello, I am the knife shop uncle. Our company has been a knife manufacturer in Seki City, one of the world's three major knife production areas, for over 100 years, honing our skills. We have received numerous inquiries about cutting various materials, and among them, I would like to discuss something that has been on my mind. That is, "Is the thickness and size of that cutting machine really necessary?" What do I mean by this? Depending on the cutting machine owned by the customer, there are cases where the proposed knife cannot be installed. Even though the knife we are introducing is clearly superior to the current specifications, it cannot be installed simply because the size of the knife does not fit. The design of the size is clearly over-spec for the material being cut... I can't help but wonder what was considered during the machine design phase. There is an optimal knife size for cutting, which ultimately results in fewer defects. If you ever reconsider the optimal cutting for your work, I would appreciate it if you could remember the musings of the knife shop uncle.
