Handcrafted Aogami decorative knife with exceptional sharpness
The Knifemakers Rengas decorative knife is a precision instrument made from Japanese Aogami steel with a hardness of 62 HRC. The knife features a 120 mm long blade paired with a beautifully crafted octagonal handle made from Rengas wood and oak, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics in your kitchen. It's ideal for detailed cutting tasks such as garnishing, peeling, and precision slicing of vegetables.
Japanese craftsmanship meets premium materials
This decorative knife is handcrafted by master blacksmith Tsutomu Kajiwara, who represents the third generation of knife makers from Kochi Prefecture in Japan. The Aogami steel used (blue paper steel) contains small amounts of tungsten and chromium, resulting in an exceptionally sharp edge with outstanding durability. The combination of hard steel and traditional Japanese forging techniques gives this knife a sharpness that lasts longer than typical kitchen knives.
Perfect balance of precision and comfort
The octagonal handle made from Rengas wood (Bornean rosewood) with an oak bolster not only gives the knife an elegant appearance but also ensures a comfortable and secure grip. The traditional assembly with small wedges guarantees stability during use. With its perfect balance between the weight of the blade and the shape of the handle, the knife fits naturally in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended use and providing you with full control over even the most intricate cutting movements.
Proper maintenance preserves quality
To maintain the knife's exceptional qualities, careful upkeep is required. Always hand wash the knife immediately after use and dry it thoroughly. The high hardness of 62 HRC provides superior sharpness but also means that the knife should be used with care—avoid hard materials like bones and frozen foods. With regular care and proper storage, this decorative knife will remain sharp and beautiful for many years.
