Product Description

Designed for lovers of Asian cuisine, our 7" Japanese style cleaver knife is crafted using 67-layered stainless Damascus steel for exceptional durability and versatility. It is an excellent medium-duty cleaver knife that is perfect for fish, boneless meats, vegetables, fruits, and leafy greens. The herringbone pattern on the base of the tang not only showcases the craftsmanship but also prevents food from sticking, making it ideal for everyday use.

Top-notch Japanese steel

The Kyoku Shogun Series represents the pinnacle of modern Japanese cutlery. Made from cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between 33 layers of Damascus steel, this series offers superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The cryogenic treatment using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method ensures unparalleled hardness, flexibility, and blade strength. The hollow-edge design prevents food from sticking, resulting in a seamless cooking experience.

Superior design

Our knives are crafted using time-honored sword making techniques, resulting in thinner, harder, and sharper blades compared to Western knives. We combine modern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with exceptional nonstick performance. The hammered wave pattern adds a touch of elegance to the traditional Damascus steel design.

Mosaic-Pin Handle

Each knife features an ergonomic handle adorned with an engraved mosaic pin, showcasing its luxurious identity.

Full-Tang Construction

With full-tang construction, the metal blade extends the entire length of the handle, ensuring durability and providing balanced performance during daily use.
