Combining visual finesse and technical precision, this 16.5 cm Japanese santoku knife by Yuzo Hamono transports you to the heart of Japanese cutlery tradition. Made in the workshops of Kiryu Cutlery, located in Japan for almost a century, this damascus knife bears witness to a heritage handed down with rigor and passion, inspired by the forging techniques of ancient swords.
The heart of the blade is forged in SG2 powder steel, designed by Takefu Special Steel. Its high carbon content of around 1.3% enables it to achieve a hardness of 63HRC on the Rockwell scale. This guarantees excellent edge retention and sharp cutting performance, even after repeated use.
This rigid core is wrapped in several layers of softer stainless steel, creating an emblematic damask structure. This process creates a unique pattern on each blade, with silvery curves that bear witness to the forging process. On the surface, a polished finish enhances the reflections on the blade of your Japanese kitchen knife.
SG2 steel is also distinguished by its highly homogeneous structure, which ensures great stability, limits chipping and makes sharpening easier, even to razor-sharp edges. It is the preferred choice of steel in Japanese cutlery for demanding chefs and enthusiasts.
The handle of this Japanese kitchen knife is crafted from dense, natural ebony, renowned for its resistance to humidity and durability over time. Its deep black appearance gives it a sober, elegant style, perfectly matched to the glossy aesthetics of damascus.
The octagonal shape, inspired by traditional Japanese design, offers ideal ambidextrous ergonomics. It ensures a firm, comfortable grip and precise control of the gesture, whether you're left- or right-handed.
Finally, two turquoise stone rings adorn the handle and reinforce the unique character of your handcrafted Japanese knife. The attachment of the blade to the handle is reinforced with wood paste to prevent water infiltration.
To ensure the long life of your Damascus knife, clean only by hand in lukewarm water with a soft cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, abrasive products and prolonged soaking in the sink. Always store your santoku knife in a dry place (sheath, block, magnetic cover).
Kiryu cutlery, founded in the late 1920s, was one of the first Japanese forges to adopt stainless steel for knife-making. Inspired by traditional sword smiths, the company blends ancestral rigor with modern innovation. It has turned the Japanese damascus knife into a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece, appreciated by discerning cooks. Each Kiryu blade embodies almost a century of artisan tradition, dedicated to performance and beauty.
