Hammer-finish kiritsuke with a stabilized wood handle
What’s in the steel

A hard core wrapped in Damascus.

Each blade has a VG-10 steel core clad in 67 layers of stainless Damascus. The hard core takes a fine edge and holds it far longer than a typical kitchen knife. The hammered finish helps keep food from sticking to the blade.

Handles are stabilized wood and resin, shaped into a traditional octagonal “wa” handle. It’s light in the hand, and the balance sits forward toward the blade.

67Damascus layers
60–62HRC hardness
15°Edge per side

Knife care

How long does shipping take?

Shipping is free within the U.S. Most knives arrive in about 2 weeks, and you’ll get tracking by email as soon as yours ships.

Can I return a knife?

Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to return any unused knife in its original box for a full refund, with no restocking fee. Email us first and we’ll send the return address. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, we cover it.

What is the sheath option?

A fitted protective sheath covers the edge for storage in a drawer or knife roll. You can add it on any product page.

What does “Surprise Me!” mean for handle color?

Stabilized wood handles are one of a kind. Pick “Surprise Me!” and we’ll choose a standout handle for you.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. Dishwashers dull the edge and can damage the handle. Hand wash and dry it right away.
