Top-tier Japanese craftsmanship

Manufactured by the renowned knife maker Tsutomu Kajiwara, a third-generation member of a blacksmith family from Kochi Prefecture, this knife represents Japanese craftsmanship at its finest. Aogami #2 steel, also known as blue paper steel, contains small amounts of tungsten and chromium, which provide the blade with exceptional sharpness and durability. With a hardness of 62 HRC, the knife retains its edge significantly longer than regular kitchen knives, while also being able to be honed to extreme sharpness.

Perfect balance of beauty and function

The octagonal handle made of rengas wood (Bornean rosewood) with an oak bolster not only gives the knife an elegant appearance but also ensures a comfortable and secure grip during use. The handle is assembled in the traditional manner with small wedges, which both strengthens the construction and highlights the handcrafted expression. The knife's size of 135 mm makes it incredibly maneuverable, giving you full control even over the tiniest and most detailed cuts, which is essential for precision work in the kitchen.

Proper maintenance ensures longevity

To preserve the knife's exceptional qualities, careful maintenance is required. Always hand wash the knife immediately after use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid contact with hard surfaces and always use cutting boards made of wood or soft plastic. To protect the blade from oxidation, you can apply a thin layer of neutral oil after cleaning. With proper care, this knife will be a faithful companion in the kitchen for many years to come.
