DURABLE HANDLE DESIGN

INCREDIBLE SHARPNESS
Seasoned artisans handcraft the knife's ruthlessly sharp edge to a mirror polish at 26-30° per side. This is achieved using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method. The knife is treated for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.
ERGONOMIC & WELL-BALANCED
The straight blade ensures the knife slices through food with ease while alleviating fatigue and finger pains from long periods of slicing or chopping, perfectly blending control and comfort.
