Shizu Hamono Gen Japanese knives

Shizu Hamono Gen knives: performance and authenticity

The Shizu Hamono Gen collection is distinguished by its meticulous construction and authentic finishes. The VG10 steel core guarantees excellent edge retention, while the 33 layers of damascus steel and iron ensure both flexibility and strength. This process gives Damascus knives a unique wavy aesthetic, typical of high-level Japanese knives. You can also maintain the blade with a Japanese whetstone. The hammered finish of the blade is not just a visual asset: it reduces friction during cutting. The rough forged finish adds character to your VG10 knives ! The pakkawood handles are not only elegant, but also extremely robust, resisting humidity and temperature variations. Their traditional Japanese D-shape ensures a natural, secure grip. This range includes flagship models such as the nakiri knife, perfect for vegetables, or thegyuto knife , versatile for everyday cuts!
