The Essential Features

High Performance Japanese Kiritsuke Knife

This Japanese kiritsuke knife is crafted from Hitachi HAP40 powder steel core with 8% cobalt, renowned for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. The blade retains its sharp edge even after extended use, ensuring you can slice through ingredients with precision and ease.

High Hardness and Fine Heat Treatment

The chef’s knife has a hardness of 67 HRC, making it one of the hardest knives in the kitchen. This high hardness ensures the blade stays sharp for a long time, but it requires fine heat treatment to prevent brittleness. The result is a durable and reliable cutting tool that will stand the test of time.

Damascus SteelBlade

The blade is made from 73 layers of folded and forged Damascus steel, creating a sophisticated and unique aesthetic. This intricate forging process not only adds to the knife's beauty but also enhances its strength and toughness, making it an invaluable addition to any kitchen.

Vacuum Cryogenic Treatment

The knife undergoes a special vacuum cryogenic treatment, which increases its hardness and wear resistance. This treatment also improves the overall structure of the steel, leading to superior cutting performance and a more durable blade.

Unique Handle Design

The handle is made from G10 fiberglass and Micarta, providing extreme strength and durability while remaining lightweight. The design ensures the knife remains comfortable to grip even after prolonged use and frequent cleaning.
