This knife is exceptionally tough, thanks to its triple-layer laminated steel. On top of being exceptionally hard, the blade has a frosted design and a hand-sharpened 15-degree angle for ultra-thin cuts. And the double-sided groove will reduce resistance and keep food from sticking to it.

Its ergonomic pakkawood handle will ensure a comfortable cutting experience and help withstand heat expansion and cracking. Whether you're a home cook or a professional, this Japanese chef's knife will do wonders at chopping, slicing and dicing your meat, fruits and veggies.
