KYOKU 8 Chef Knife, Samurai Series for Meat Cutting

Kyoku was inspired by the honor and integrity of Japanese master bladesmiths who, after the decline of the samurai in 1868, applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation. Our mission is to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide. Our passion for culinary creativity keeps us on the cutting edge of handcrafted cutlery.

The Kyoku Samurai Series 8" Chef Knife is expertly crafted with Japanese high carbon steel for superior performance and durability. This carbon steel knife's ultra-sharp blade is precisely honed to 13-15 degrees, making it perfect for mincing garlic & herbs, slicing and dicing apples, and chopping bell peppers with minimal resistance. Crafted with a durable full-tang construction and an ergonomic Pakkawood handle featuring a signature mosaic pin, this meat cutting knife provides both precision and comfort for long-term use.

Ideal for professional chefs, cooking enthusiasts, and avid foodies alike, these Kyoku knives make culinary companions for life. Each blade is handcrafted by experienced artisans for a mirror polish and an especially fine angle—between 13 and 15 degrees—to give you straight, clean cuts with minimal resistance. Furthermore, each blade is cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.

The knife is nicely crafted from high-carbon steel and precision forged to deliver stunning textures, exceptional edge retention, and dependable use. The blade's Granton edge minimizes suction and prevents the food from sticking to the blade, offering satisfying smooth cuts through steaks and vegetables. The pakkawood handle, accented by elegant mosaic pins, boasts great comfort and perfect balance, minimizing fatigue even in professional settings. The steel blade extends to the entire length of the handle, withstanding daily use without sacrificing comfortable handling and balanced performance.

Preserve and protect your kitchen knife with ease using the included sheath and case, ensuring it remains clean and secure whenever you need it. Order this Samurai Series chopping knife with your peace of mind assured thanks to its strong lifelong warranty and Kyoku's usual friendly 24/7 customer service.
