Kitaoka Damascus White #1

This collection is built from White #1 steel with a 12-layer beautiful Damascus cladding. Hideo Kitaoka, a traditional knife smith working at the Takefu Village cooperative in Echizen, hardens these blades to 63-64 HRC, putting them among the better quality sushi knives we carry anywhere on the site. Every knife in this line is right-handed, single bevel, and finished with a rosewood octagonal handle.
