Description

Combining beauty and efficiency, this handcrafted Yuzo Kanko Damascus SG2 16.5 cm bunka knife plunges you into the world of Japanese cutlery. Made in Japan by the Kiryu company, a pioneer in stainless steel work since the 1920s, this Japanese kitchen knife is the fruit of a mastery of craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation, inspired by the forging techniques of ancestral swords.

A Japanese knife with a damascened blade of formidable precision

The 16.5 cm blade is made using the damascus technique, which consists of superimposing several layers of flexible steel around a core of rigid steel. This process creates a distinctive wavy pattern, with each blade displaying a unique motif, a true aesthetic signature of the piece.

The core, in SG2 steel, is a powder steel developed by the renowned Takefu Special Steel. Enriched with approximately 1.3% carbon, it achieves a hardness of 63HRC on the Rockwell scale. This high hardness ensures excellent edge retention, enabling intensive use without frequent resharpening. Thanks to its extremely homogeneous micro-structure, SG2 steel offers great stability, reducing the risk of chipping while remaining relatively easy to sharpen, even for razor-sharp finishes! Next, layers of stainless steel surround the core of your Japanese kitchen knife to complete the damascus finish.

The polished finish enhances the silvery reflections of the damascus, for a refined aesthetic of this Yuzo knife!

A noble, functional handle for this handcrafted Japanese knife

The handle is crafted from dense, dark ebony wood, renowned for its durability and ability to resist moisture. It is adorned with two rings of turquoise stone, a semi-precious stone that adds a unique touch of distinction to each piece. This combination gives your damascus knife the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, aesthetics and strength!

With its octagonal shape, this handle offers an ergonomic, ambidextrous grip, ensuring a firm, comfortable hold for both right- and left-handed users. This traditional Japanese shape facilitates precision and control for the finest cuts. Wood paste is added to secure the handle and prevent water or food from seeping in.

Kiryu: Japan's stainless steel pioneer

Founded in the late 1920s, Kiryu was one of the first Japanese forges to adopt the production of knives in stainless steel, an innovative material recently introduced from Europe. This family-run business draws on the heritage of Japanese sword smiths to create functional and artistic pieces. Its commitment to craftsmanship makes its kitchen knives benchmarks of excellence. Each blade is the fruit of ancestral know-how, refined by nearly a century of innovation!
