KEEMAKE Kiritsuke Chef Knife, 8 Inch Damascus Japanese Kitchen Knife with Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle, Ultra Sharp Non-Slip Cooking Knife with Ash Sheath

About this item

Key features: 【67-Layer Damascus Steel】This kiritsuke knife features 67 layers of hand-forged Damascus steel, combining modern metallurgy with traditional craftsmanship. The layered construction creates a distinctive hammered finish that does more than look stunning—it naturally reduces food sticking during slicing. This robust structure delivers exceptional durability, long-lasting edge retention, and superior corrosion resistance, outperforming single-layer stainless steel blades that dull and stain over time., 【Razor-Sharp Edge】Unlike mass-produced knives that rely on machine grinding, each blade undergoes a meticulous journey of over 50 hand-crafted processes, from advanced heat treatment and quenching to final hand-honing. The result is an exceptional 60±2 HRC hardness—hard enough to hold a razor edge through heavy use, yet flexible enough to resist chipping. Whether you're slicing through butternut squash, breaking down a whole fish, or finely mincing herbs, this knife glides with minimal effort., 【Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle】The handle is crafted from Pakkawood, a material prized for its resistance to heat, cold, and moisture—unlike natural wood that can crack or absorb bacteria. Secured by three rivets for long-term stability, the ergonomic shape achieves perfect balance with the blade, reducing wrist fatigue during extended prep sessions. This makes it a reliable tool for both professional chefs working long shifts and home cooks who enjoy elaborate meal preparation., 【Protective Ash Sheath】This knife includes a custom-fitted Ash wood sheath, a feature often sold separately with competing Damascus knives. The sheath keeps the razor-sharp edge safely covered when not in use, preventing accidental cuts and protecting the blade from contact with other utensils. Its adjustable design allows the sheath to align with the blade's pattern, enabling the knife to stand upright on your countertop—a functional and elegant display solution that keeps your most-used knife within arm’s reach., 【From Vegetables to Fish with Ease】The kiritsuke shape combines the versatility of a chef's knife with the precision of a slicing blade. The Damascus steel's natural non-stick surface minimizes food residue, so sliced potatoes, carrots, and even sticky fish fillets release cleanly without clinging to the blade. Designed to excel across the board—from dicing onions and slicing bell peppers to precisely portioning salmon and shrimp—it eliminates the need to switch knives mid-prep..
