Each blade is cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge design ensures nothing sticks to the blade. Time-honored sword making methods make each Kyoku custom knife appear unique and result in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade than western knives. We blend ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful nonstick performance. Its exclusive appearance is accented by a hammer-beaten wave pattern that gives way to a traditional Damascus steel design. The ergonomic handle is artistically accented with an engraved mosaic pin, revealing this knife’s luxurious identity. The metal blade extends the entire length of the handle to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing comfortable handling and balanced performance.
