Know before you buy
The wide blade profile is specifically designed for efficient slicing and tip-work, while the super-thin CROMOVA 18 steel allows for cleaner, more precise cuts than thicker, heavier blades.
Yes, the handle features a unique dimpled design that provides a secure, ergonomic grip. Because the knife is surprisingly lightweight, it reduces hand fatigue during repetitive slicing tasks.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon steel and the sharpness of the blade, you should hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use.
The seamless bond between the blade and handle eliminates the traditional bolster and rivets, which prevents food particles from getting trapped. This makes the knife exceptionally hygienic and easier to clean.
While the steel is stain-resistant, it is a high-performance material that benefits from regular honing to maintain its edge. We recommend using a whetstone or a high-quality manual sharpener specifically designed for Japanese-style blades.
