Kirari Damascus Steel Knife With Coloured Octagonal Handle

The Kirari knife is one of the few multipurpose traditional Japanese blades that can be used as a Yanagi (fish slicer) or an Usuba (vegetable knife).

It is a very versatile knife that can be used to perform many of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto (Chef’s knife).

• 7 Layers US 440C Composite Steel, using high-quality 7-layer composite steel as the core of the blade, combined with high-carbon soft steel layered on each side, forming a beautiful and simple texture on the blade.
• High level of rust resistance, wear resistance, long-lasting performance and maximum sharpness. The hardness reaches 62HRC.
• Its lightweight, double-beveled edge can be used to perform many of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto.
• A truly versatile chef’s knife (Kirari) due to its ability to ‘Rock and Chop’ and suits all cutting styles
• Highly durable blades, each individually tempered and sharpened to 8-12 degrees on each side by experienced craftsmen. This maintains high durability without rusting or dulling, even after prolonged use.
• Blade features a Fireball Damascus Steel Billet pattern.
• Octagonal handle made of Stable wood and carbon fibre, durable, highly resistant to heat, cold and moisture. To ensure a perfect ergonomic design, each handle is subjected to a rigorous finishing process.
• Double Bevel Sharpened by Hand using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke method where the blade is sharpened and polished by hand in three stages

Forged with imported VG-10 stainless steel for the core blade material and 66 layers of Damascus Steel this blade will last a lifetime.

Our Kirari Octagonal Handle is made from wood, which is chemically stabilized. The stabilizing process makes the wood tougher, super-durable and less likely to warp or crack.

The Kirari knife is suited to ‘rock chopping’, ‘push cutting’ and ‘pull cutting’. Our take on the Kirari blade has been vigorously tested to be a true, well-rounded knife.

Damascus blades are made from high carbon steel with small amounts of chromium in the alloy. While high in carbon steel, the blade can show rust if not cared for. You should ensure to keep the blades clean and dry thoroughly to avoid rust or staining. Hand wash only.
