The blade: steel shaped the Japanese way
Japanese kitchen knives are made to be kept sharp, so the edge does the cutting and the hand only guides it. This blade is shaped on those principles: a fine edge, an even balance, and uncoated steel for clean contact with food.

- Even balance
- Uncoated steel
- Ergonomic handle
- Daily kitchen use

What this knife does on the board
A fine edge goes through tomato skin, fish and meat in one pull.
The weight sits evenly between blade and handle, so long prep stays comfortable.
The blade is steel all the way through, for pure contact with food.
An ergonomic handle sits steady in the hand through a whole evening of prep.
Vegetables, fish and meat: one tool for daily cooking.
A few passes on the Hatori rolling sharpener bring the edge back in under a minute.
