The handle is made of birch wood shaped for balanced, ergonomic handling.

Advantages

The double-honed Honbazuke edge provides precise, clean cuts and long-lasting sharpness. The unique Damascus blade pattern makes each knife visually distinct while the hardened core steel increases edge stability. A birch wood handle shaped according to Japanese tradition offers good balance and comfortable grip for extended use.

How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable pinch grip near the blade for precise control and use smooth, even slicing motions. For carving meats, let the blade do the work with long strokes; for vegetables, use controlled forward and downward cuts to achieve thin, uniform strips. Maintain contact between the cutting edge and the board and avoid twisting motions that can damage the blade.

Usage recommendations

Hand-wash the knife with mild detergent and dry immediately; avoid dishwashers. Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a protective sheath. Regularly hone the edge with an appropriate steel and have it professionally sharpened when needed to preserve the Honbazuke profile and cutting performance.
