Discover a Yuzo Kanko 27 cm sujihiki kiritsuke knife where exacting Japanese craftsmanship meets the timeless elegance of damascus to sublimate every cut!
Performance and refinement for this damascus knife
This sujihiki kiritsuke knifefeatures an elongated 27 cm blade, ideal for clean, precise cuts on large pieces of meat or fish. It features a damascus structure: a traditional process of enclosing a hard steel core in several layers of softer steel. This combination gives the blade strength and flexibility, for optimized cutting comfort.
The core is forged from Japanese SG2 powder steel (also known as R2) enriched with 1.3% carbon. This top-of-the-range alloy achieves 63HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing long-lasting cutting performance and outstanding sharpness even after repeated use.
The surface of the blade reveals delicate silver damask patterns, achieved by alternating layers of stainless steel. A polished finish enhances the elegant appearance of your handcrafted Japanese knife!
A damascus knife with an ebony handle: comfort and aesthetics
The handle is made from ebony wood, renowned for its high density, durability and natural resistance to humidity. Its dark hue and smooth appearance create an elegant contrast with the brilliance of the damascened blade.
Its octagonal shape ensures a balanced, ambidextrous grip, offering precise control when cutting, whether you're left- or right-handed. This ergonomic profile helps reduce fatigue, even during prolonged use.
Two turquoise stone rings highlight the handle, adding an original decorative touch and reinforcing the artisanal character of your Japanese kitchen knife. This attention to detail testifies to the cutler's determination to produce a tool as beautiful as it is effective!
