8 Inch Damascus Chef's Kiritsuke Knife, Pakkawood Handle

Crafted from 67-layer Damascus stainless steel, this 8-inch Kiritsuke knife combines a razor-sharp high-carbon core with stainless cladding for superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and striking blade patterns. With a hardness of HRC 59-60, it delivers precision cutting and long-lasting performance.

The handle is made from Pakkawood, a resin-infused engineered wood that offers the warmth of natural grain with enhanced durability, water resistance, and stability. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure, comfortable grip, even in demanding kitchen environments.

As a Kiritsuke-style knife, it excels in fine slicing, filleting fish, and julienning vegetables, while also serving as a versatile all-purpose chef’s knife. Combining Japanese tradition with modern materials, it is both a functional tool and a statement of craftsmanship.
