Elite Molybdenum Steel: Crafted from high-carbon Molybdenum AUS-10 stainless steel, this blade achieves a Rockwell hardness of 59 HRC. This allows for a thinner, stiffer, and "razor-sharp" edge that outperforms thicker Western counterparts.
Precision Geometry: The blade features a 50/50 double-bevel grind, making it equally effective for left- and right-handed users while ensuring clean, effortless cuts through fruits, vegetables, and small proteins.
Exceptional Balance: Equipped with a durable black resin or Pakkawood handle and a full-tang Western-style design, it provides an ergonomic, secure grip for long prep sessions.
Legacy Craftsmanship: Each knife is hand-finished and bears the emperor’s chrysanthemum symbol, a mark of excellence granted to the Kikuichi family ancestors over 700 years ago.
