• HAND-FORGED HERITAGE FINISH : Each blade is hand-forged from Japanese AUS-8 steel and finished with a natural heritage patina — adding rust resistance, reducing food sticking, and giving every piece its own unique character.
• EBONY & ROSEWOOD HANDLE — BUILT TO LAST : Octagonal handle crafted from ebony and rosewood fusion, reinforced with a brass ring. Noble, ergonomic, and perfectly balanced for long sessions — beauty and reliability in one piece.
• POWERFUL RECTANGULAR BLADE — LIGHTWEIGHT STRENGTH : The wide chukabocho-style blade delivers precise, effortless cuts — from meat and vegetables to herbs or garlic crushing. Harder AUS-8 steel allows for a thinner, lighter, better-balanced edge.
• JIKKO HEAT-TREATMENT DIFFERENCE : ① Annealing (1560 °F) relieves stress. ② Hardening (1950 °F + oil quench) builds the core. ③ Tempering (347 °F) balances hardness & flexibility. We never skip steps — sharper, tougher, longer-lasting steel.
• LONGEVITY & VALUE — BUILT TO OUTLAST TRENDS 3× longer edge retention — sharp for months, not weeks. A $200 value knife for just $115. Durable, balanced, and hand-forged to serve for years.
