All Features Explained

Exceptional Performance Steel: Japanese Kiritsuke Knife

Made from Hitachi HAP40 powder steel with 8% cobalt, this knife is known for its excellent hardness and wear resistance. The blade retains its sharp edge even after extended use.

High Hardness and Fine Heat Treatment

Our Japanese chef's knife boasts a hardness of 67 HRC, one of the highest among kitchen knives. This high hardness ensures the knife stays sharp for a long time, but it requires fine heat treatment to maintain flexibility and avoid brittleness.

Damascus Kitchen Knife

The blade is crafted from 73 layers of folded and forged Damascus steel, combining aesthetic appeal with added strength and toughness. This intricate forging process creates a unique, natural pattern, enhancing the knife's overall durability.

Vacuum Cryogenic Treatment

Through a special treatment, the knife's steel is increased in hardness and wear resistance, while the overall structure of the steel is improved. This enhances the precise cutting performance significantly.

Unique Handle Design

Crafted from G10 fiberglass and Micarta, the handle offers exceptional strength and durability whilst remaining lightweight. It remains comfortable to grip, even after prolonged use and frequent cleaning.
