KYOKU Paring Knife - Shogun Series - Japanese VG10 Steel Core Damascus Blade - with Sheath & Case

Kyoku: Elevating the Art of Culinary Craftsmanship

After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their unparalleled skills to the creation of innovative cutlery. Inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths, Kyoku was born with a mission: to make high-end Japanese culinary tools affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

Kyoku's passion for culinary creativity keeps them at the forefront of handcrafted cutlery. The Kyoku Shogun Series, the apex of modern Japanese knives, is a testament to this pursuit. Crafted from cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped in 33-layer Damascus steel, these blades retain an ultra-fine edge and resist corrosion, outlasting the competition.

The Cryogenic Strength of Kyoku Knives Each Kyoku blade undergoes the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method of cryogenic treatment, resulting in incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge design ensures that nothing sticks to the blade, delivering superior cutting performance.

Unparalleled Culinary Experience Kyoku blends ultramodern technology with ancient sword-making techniques to create scalpel-thin blade edges with powerful non-stick performance. The exclusive appearance of each knife is accentuated by a distinctive hammer-beaten wave pattern that transitions into a traditional Damascus steel design.

Ergonomic and Balanced Design The ergonomic handle, artistically accented with an engraved mosaic pin, reveals the luxurious identity of each Kyoku knife. The full-tang construction, where the metal blade extends the entire length of the handle, ensures a well-balanced feel and withstands punishing daily use without compromising comfort.

Kyoku Kitchen Knife Set Kyoku offers a wide range of kitchen knives to cater to the diverse needs of culinary enthusiasts. From the 3.5" Japanese paring knife to the 8.5" Kiritsuke knife, each piece is crafted with the same dedication to excellence.

The 3.5" paring knife, part of the Shogun series, is a true testament to Kyoku's commitment to quality. Weighing just 4 oz., this fruit knife is ideal for mincing herbs, slicing fruit, peeling vegetables, and cutting cheese. The blade, made from high-quality 67-layer stainless Damascus steel, has been cryogenically treated for heightened wear-resistance.

Kyoku's kitchen knife set also includes a 6" utility chef knife, a 7" boning knife, a 7" Nakiri knife, a 7" vegetable cleaver, and an 8" chef knife. Each blade is crafted from Japanese VG10 steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 58-60, and features a mosaic pin on the ergonomic G10 handle.

Backed by a lifetime warranty and Kyoku's friendly 24/7 customer service, these knives are designed to provide home chefs and culinary professionals with an unparalleled cooking experience, blending time-honored craftsmanship with modern innovation.
