Polished and adorned with the Misono logo, this blade has an authentic style. This Misono knife is available in different blade sizes: 12cm, 13cm or 15cm.

The handle of this carbon knife is made of black pakkawood, a robust and durable composite material. It's made from hot-compressed laminated wood and resin, offering the advantages of composite while retaining a natural look thanks to its wood grain. What's more, this material is antibacterial and moisture-resistant.

Adopting a Western shape, this handle is designed to adapt perfectly to the hands of all cooks, ensuring an ergonomic grip and controlled handling for optimum comfort, even during prolonged use in the kitchen!

For added reliability, two rivets securely attach the handle to the full tang blade. This Misono knife also features a bolster, which connects the handle to the blade and ensures optimum balance.

Caring for a carbon Japanese knife

To care for your Japanese utility knife, wash only by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. After cleaning, dry immediately with a clean cloth to remove all traces of moisture, then store in a dry place. It is essential not to put it in the dishwasher, nor to let it soak in the sink.

Over time, the color of your blade may change slightly, which is normal. This variation in color is a natural reaction of the carbon due to the acidity of the food and the humidity in the air. This in no way affects the performance of your kitchen knife!
