Meet the SYOKAMI 8.2-Inch Kiritsuke knife, a versatile Japanese kitchen tool designed for precision, control, and enduring performance. The blade features a Damascus-inspired pattern that hints at tradition, while the geometry supports clean, deliberate cuts from vegetables to proteins. This knife pairs an elegant silhouette with practical engineering, making it a reliable companion in home kitchens and professional settings alike.

The 60° sharp tip concentrates cutting pressure at contact, enabling non-resistance piercing that helps with delicate carving and seafood finishing. This design aims to deliver smooth initial penetration and refined edge work without excessive force.

Safety and handling you can rely on

• The knife includes a 1 handguard and a deliberate guard structure that keeps your hand away from the edge, improving confidence while slicing.
• The gear teeth texture in the handle area provides a non-slip grip, assisted by a warm wenge wood handle that remains comfortable when your hands are wet.
• The full tang is single-piece forged and triple-riveted to the wood handle for stable balance and enduring strength.

Performance and materials you can count on. The blade is forged from imported high-carbon German steel and finished with a hand polished edge at 14-16 degrees per side. A 56+ Rockwell hardness rating supports edge retention and ease of care, while the stain-resistant surface adds straightforward maintenance after frequent chopping and mincing tasks.

• Edge geometry supports precise slicing, thin mincing, and clean mincing lines on proteins and produce alike.
• The durable steel and corrosion resistance help the knife stay sharp longer with proper care.
• The full tang and triple rivet design contribute to reliable balance and long-term use.

Design and gifting notes. The Damascus pattern elevates the knife beyond a simple tool, turning it into a striking piece for display and daily use. It is a thoughtful gift option for Thanksgiving or Christmas cooking moments, appealing to both cooking enthusiasts and professionals who value craft and performance.

Care and longevity tips. Hand wash only, dry promptly, and store in a sheath or knife block to protect the edge and the FSC certified wood handle. With regular honing and proper cleaning, this knife can be a lasting part of your kitchen repertoire.
