The elegant wave pattern, known as "Sumi Nagashi," is one of the treasures born from Japanese cutlery culture. This distinctive design is inspired by the techniques used in traditional Japanese swordmaking ("Katana"). The blade is crafted from a combination of low and high-carbon stainless steel, folded into 45 layers, creating a unique wave pattern with no two blades alike. Additionally, the mirror finish adds a refined and elegant touch.
This kitchen knife is durable enough for both home and professional use, thanks to its traditional forging process.
AUS10 is a high-hardness stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention and sharpness.
NOTE:
Avoid twisting the edge or striking the blade. Do not cut frozen foods or bones, as the thinner, sharper edge of Japanese knives may chip or break. Since Japanese knives are handcrafted, slight scratches may appear naturally.
