KYOKU Chef Knife - 8 - Shogun Series Japanese VG10 Steel Core Hammered Damascus Blade Kitchen Knife

Forged from the rich heritage of Japanese swordsmanship, KYOKU kitchen knives embody the pinnacle of modern culinary craftsmanship. After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japan's master bladesmiths channeled their expertise into creating innovative cutlery that would captivate the world.

Inspired by the honor and integrity of these legendary artisans, KYOKU's mission is to make high-end Japanese blades accessible to professional chefs and home cooks alike. Our passion for culinary creativity fuels our pursuit of perfection, driving us to the cutting edge of handcrafted cutlery.

The KYOKU 8" Chef Knife exemplifies this unwavering commitment to excellence. Expertly forged from Japanese VG10 steel and surrounded by 67 layers of Damascus, this blade is hammer-beaten into a custom wave pattern, quenched, tempered, and hand-honed using traditional sharpening methods. The result is a culinary weapon of unparalleled precision and power, beloved by professionals for its ergonomic pinch-grip handle that allows effortless slicing through even the toughest ingredients.

Cryogenically hardened and corrosion-resistant, the VG-10 steel at the core of each KYOKU knife is the apex of modern Japanese cutlery, retaining an ultrafine edge that outperforms the competition. This superior Japanese steel is complemented by a meticulously designed handle, featuring a mosaic pin accent and full-tang construction for uncompromising balance and control.

From the 8" Chef Knife to the versatile 6" Utility and the razor-sharp 7" Nakiri, the KYOKU lineup offers a range of exceptional blades to suit every culinary need. Each piece is crafted with the same unwavering attention to detail, blending ultramodern technology and ancient sword-making techniques to deliver an unparalleled cooking experience.
