About This

• EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP : Forged from Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel (~0.75% C) — razor-sharp, resilient, and corrosion-resistant. Hollow edge design reduces friction and prevents food from sticking.
• ERGONOMIC & ELEGANT HANDLE : Hand-crafted rosewood handle offers natural warmth and balance. Durable, elegant, and shaped for all-day comfort. 3× Edge Retention engraved on the handle — performance you can feel.
• PRECISION IN EVERY CUT : 58–59 HRC hardness ensures lasting sharpness. The 15° Japanese edge slices cleaner and stays sharper up to 3× longer than German X50C steel. Chop, slice, and dice meat, vegetables, or fish with effortless control.
• THE JIKKO HEAT-TREATMENT DIFFERENCE : ① Annealing (1560 °F) — releases steel stress. ② Hardening (1950 °F + Oil Quench) — forms the cutting core. ③ Tempering (347 °F) — balances hardness and flexibility. Most brands skip it — we never do
• UNBEATABLE VALUE — BUILT TO PERFORM, BUILT TO LAST : $100 performance for under $50. Durable, balanced, and designed to stay razor-sharp for months — not weeks. A knife you keep, not one you replace.
