Discover Kagekiyo Hammered Japanese knives on KnifeLeader! We're delighted to present these handcrafted Japanese knives, designed in a rather Western style to suit all cooks. Kagekiyo Hammered knives feature a blade made of VG5 Japanese steel, a stainless alloy with very interesting capabilities. For example, it has a carbon content of 0.95%, making it harder than the average Western knife, without being too hard either. As a result, its rigidity means it can withstand more extensive sharpening. The cutting surface of the Kagekiyo Hammered knife is hammered, creating a unique effect on each knife. The handle is made of black Pakkawood, an antibacterial material with good thermal and mechanical resistance, ideal for use in the kitchen! The handle is completed by rivets. With the Kagekiyo Hammered knife, you benefit from Japanese expertise, while enjoying Western comfort in terms of grip! Discover our other Kagekiyo knives!
