NOTE: Dimensions and weight may vary slightly as the knife is hand-forged.

Shiro Kamo always delivers knives with the highest possible performance. The blades are thin and can easily be sharpened razor-sharp. In this series, Shiro Kamo has used SG-2 stainless powder steel hardened to 62-63 HRC. Around the powder steel core are several layers of softer steel that give each knife a unique and beautiful pattern (called damascus steel).

This is a knife made entirely by hand, of excellent quality, and with a classic Japanese design.

NOTE: This knife series has extremely thin edges made from very hard steel. They are therefore very sensitive to stress. Be extra careful when cutting so that the edge does not meet too much resistance and get damaged.
