These fine knives are made from the super steel known as AS, or Aogami Super. AS is a great steel for making knives as it has the highest wear resistance and lowest toughness of the three Blue Paper steels. Edge holding is truly outstanding, and it is also easy to sharpen. AS contains the highest amount of carbon and chromium of the three alloys, which not only increases its hardness but also gives it a slight advantage over the others in terms of corrosion resistance. This is further enhanced with the addition of a stainless steel cladding. The cladding is somewhat “softer” or more ductile, which further protects the inner cutting core.

The Anryu AS Gyuto 210mm is an average-length knife capable of taking on almost any ingredient. It is a compact blade that will find favor with most home users and professionals working in tighter environments. It features a nice length flat heel, which transitions to a gentle curved belly. It should please users of all styles of cutting techniques.

Designed for both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks, it embodies the artistry and tradition of Japanese knife-making.

After an illustrious 50-year career, Anryu-san has retired, entrusting his legacy to his longtime and trusted apprentice, Ikeda-san. Now 80 years old, Anryu-san continues to forge knives part-time, ensuring his craftsmanship lives on in every blade.

The knife's construction includes a Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel core, hardened to 63 HRC, and wrapped in stainless steel for easier maintenance. This combination delivers a blade that sharpens effortlessly, takes a razor-sharp edge, and holds that edge for an extended period.

Anryu-san’s renowned Hammered line has earned a stellar reputation among Japanese knife enthusiasts, known for its high-performance grinds and rustic yet refined aesthetics. Each knife is meticulously crafted by hand, so slight variations in dimensions may occur, adding to its unique character.

Please note: The carbon steel core will develop a beautiful patina over time with normal use, a hallmark of high-quality carbon steel. However, proper care is essential—keep it dry and clean to prevent rust.

Embrace the craftsmanship and legacy of Anryu-san with this exceptional knife, a true testament to Japanese blade-making tradition.

This is a first class knife! I spent a long time researching different chef knives and i wanted a good workhorse knife,and I found it. Being stainless clad makes it easy to keep clean without worrying about stains. It gets sharp,stays sharp,and responds well to a steel.

I highly recommend this knife and CKTG!

Happy cooking!

Excellent service by cktg,

received fairly quick even via Chicago and dodgy Aus customs.

the knife I got is not as perfectly finished and masakage sharp as the one in Shaun’s video.

it has some choil and spine rough bits I suppose it looks identical to Steve G.s review video knife.

Beautiful knife however - and am very happy with the handle fit and finish and the service.

Cheers

The honesuki is a Japanese version of a boning knife. It is quite different from a Western boning knife. This is mainly due to its triangular shape and the fact that it is a very stiff blade with very little flex. The honesuki works very well for deboning all kinds of proteins including poultry and typically has an asymmetrical edge. However, this knife is ground on both sides with a symmetrical 50/50 edge. Be warned that while it is a boning knife, it is not meant to cut through bones. It is made to cut through the joints of the bird. Due to its shape and height, the honesuki can also double up nicely as a utility or petty style of knife. Comes with a very nice oval rosewood and pakka wood handle.

I was looking for a blue #2 steel nakiri clad in stainless steel with a little heft. This is the knife. It wasn’t razor sharp OOTB. I gave it a 320,1200,8000 nagura stoning,polished with strop and the basics. It now pops hair off my arm. Take care of this baby. The edge can be fragile,pending on the angle and bevel you choose. I went to about 10 degrees each side with a nice visible edge. It’s the fine blue steel edge you must care for. The grinds are close to 50/50,just a tad more ground on the left side of the knife,but ground very sweetly. It is an extremely well made knife. Very fine craftsmanship on this puppy. The maker of this knife truly knows what they are doing. A true gem from the orient. An awesome knife and definitely a keeper! Thank You CKTG

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Bunka knife, a testament to their craft, is meticulously forged using Shirogami #2 high carbon steel, enhanced by a multilayered iron cladding. The hardened steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61-62 HRC, is particularly prized for its exceptional edge longevity and straightforward sharpening. Known as White #2, this steel is highly favored among blade aficionados. The exterior layer, referred to as the jigane, boasts a traditional kurouchi coating, imparting a distinctive rustic aesthetic. This coating gradually transitions into a beautifully layered, or suminagashi, blade road. While this knife is undeniably attractive, it is also reactive, necessitating careful cleaning and thorough drying both during and post-use to maintain its quality.

The bunka is a really versatile blade that is growing in popularity in the West with both professional and home chefs. The short length and tall blade combine to create a knife with very broad uses and appeal. They can be used to replace a short gyuto or santoku, especially when you favor push-cutting and chopping techniques. Of course, the great-looking reverse tanto profile also offers a compelling aesthetic, especially coupled to the finely crafted rosewood oval handle with black pakka wood ferrule.

Katsushige Anryu is the fourth generation of this esteemed family of blacksmiths. He has just recently turned over the business to his long-time apprentice Ikeda san while still working the hammer daily.

He makes this lovely gyuto from a multi-layer soft iron cladding over an inner core of White #2 high carbon steel. This is a reactive blade and will require care with cleaning and drying between uses. It is a great-looking item featuring a well-done kurouchi finish, which transforms beautifully into the suminagashi multi-layer part of the blade road.

The blade is quite thick out of the handle but it then thins out nicely to the extremely fine tip. The choil area has the characteristic Anryu curve, which makes for a very comfortable pinch grip. This is enhanced by the perfect balance point just forward of the heel. They are ground quite thin at the edge, which adds to the outstanding cutting abilities of this well-made knife. The cutting edge profile is quite curved but will still appeal to most users, whether employing rocking or push cutting styles.

We are really pleased to be able to offer these lovely knives to our customers. They are well made, handsome to behold, and an overall great value.

I don’t navigate well through computer land. So I couldn’t find a way to leave a description of my brief experience with the afore mentioned knife. Didn’t find the thingee to click on. So to explain what I did,cleaned off the dark grey coating,Bad move? Honed the hell out of it with a porcelain rod and cut up a crop of vegetables. Couldn’t be happier with the knife.Can’t imagine anyone wanting better. If you’re in touch with the fellow that made it,please tell him he has my respect. I think the knife looks much better without the charcoal coating. I polish it down after use,apply a bit of walnut or cocoanut oil and put it away in a slotted drawer. Need to make a good wooden sleeve for it. Sincerely,Bruce

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Santoku is constructed from Shirogami #2 high carbon steel with a multilayer soft iron cladding. The steel is hardened to 61-62 HRC. Shirogami #2 or White #2 is a high carbon steel that is liked for its high level of edge retention and relative ease of sharpening. The outer layer, or jigane, is finished with a rustic kurouchi coating. The kurouchi finish fades into a nice layered or suminagashi blade road. This is a good-looking knife, but it is reactive and will require care with cleaning and drying during and after use.

This hand-hammered santoku is thin at the edge and comes out of the box fairly sharp. A few strokes on a fine stone will reveal a razor-like edge. The choil and neck area are nicely finished, as is the basic but well-made oval rosewood handle.

There is a lot of knife here for the money. Lovely looks, a light, well-balanced feel, and excellent fit and finish sum up this high-value santoku. Check out this great performer. You'll be glad you did.

Great stone.

This was the third installment in the set with the bester 500 an 2k.

The stone feels soo smooth and leaves a nice shiny polish.

I would have to agree that this stone puts on a 8k like finish.

No soaking either,just wet it and get to work. great stone to finish on.

Like this one a lot,it’s smooth and hard.

By: nico

The Arashiyama takes a moderate amount of time to soak. It cuts very quickly for how high the polish is that it leaves. It tends to stick to the DMT XXC pretty badly when flattening. Great stone overall.

This is a quality stone. Hard and durable,the best feature about the Arayashima is the fact that it’s splash and go,and cuts fast and clean for a 6000grit.

Brought a fantastic finish and edge to my Moritaka kurouchi 270mm gyuto,Hattori HD and Konouke white #2 sujihiki with consistent and precise results.

No need to use force with this stone,it does all the work for you in a flash (provided you have decent sharpening skills).

It does exactly what its supposed to do,and brings the characteristics of an 8000grit stone to your knives too.

Thank you Arayashima,and thank you Mark for bringing this great product to the site.

Feels smooth,hard,gives good feedback and is splash-n-go. Love it!

Agree that soaking gets a better result then splash and go.

polish and cut with soaking is much faster with minimal effort.

splash and go you see how hard the stone actually is,not as great a polish without soaking though.

Overall a great 6k stone,more reaching into the 8k stone area,compared to king stones

Great stone! Great feedback. Great feel. Great polish. Slow wearing. Nice for splash-and-go. No complaints with this stone at all.

This stone is fantastic. The feel and hardness are Awesome. It works up a nice mud and the finish can go from 6000 to 8000 depending on pressure and how much you work the mud. This and my Kitayama are,by far,my favorite stones.

By: Federico

Hoboken,NJ

Great stone for woodworking too.

I like it much better than other finishing stones I have tried.

it gives a smooth,sharp and durable edge,the feel is "organic" compared to most ceramic stones and it cuts fast but cleanly. works great for splash and go.

only "issue" so far is that it will stick a little if using a wide are on the back of a blade,but that’s normal for most fine stones that aren’t very soft.

someone said that is sticks to the DMT plate,I find it sticks to a Iwood plate also,but doesn’t stick at all to the Atoma plates.

I’ve sold off all my other fine stones,don’t need more than this one.

I was fortunate enough to pick up thirteen new natural stones. Naturals never come flat. I had a lot of work ahead of me to flatten the stones to usable condition. This plate is coarse,flat and made quick (relatively speaking) work of flatening my naturals. I ended up getting a DMT 220 use after the 140 to get a finer finish but it was putting a very slight groove along the face of the stone so I don’t even bother now. After the Atoma 140,I use a nagura to condition the surface and go straight to sharpening. Highly recommended for natural stones or badly dished artificials.

Can repair broken tips with good speed. A great tool...kind of coarse for lapping stones but works well.

WOW!! This this is great for reprofiling and is super fast. It might seem a bit spendy at first,but once you get it and use it some,you will know it was worth it.

By: Matt

Main advantage is that it does not dish. Probably a bit faster than the EP 120 stone.

Rating is lower because the diamonds are in metal that rusts. I must have stored the stone moist,because I found rust spots in between the diamonds after a few days.

Also,the finish of mine was not great. A ridge of metal at the top was elevated higher than the diamonds. No biggy,but I expected a bit better for this price.

I read a lot about the quality of Hand American (HA) products on Bladeforums. I’m so glad I tried them out.

I think this is the perfect beginners strop for someone interested in serious knife sharpening. The balsa is stiff enough to prevent edge rounding and the surface can be loaded and reloaded with all sorts of stropping compounds. Fantastic value.

I use a 10k stone followed by balsa wood with .5micron ken schwartz boron nitride,and balsa with .1 micron ks boron. The edge on both white and blue steel comes up to a 2 inch pinch distance paper edge cut with ease. Don’t think of balsa like the stuff from your model airplanes,this is hard balsa. Balsa ranges from 2.5 lbs/cu ft to 10 times heavier. This is almost like very soft pine,nothing like the balsa on kids toy airplanes where you can bite through it. Great stuff!

By: bob luhrs

I use two of them back to back. They stick right together,and I put .5 micron boron nitride and .1 on opposite sides. Just a couple of wipes on each side and knife is razor sharp. No need for support bases with these balsa strips they hold fine to cutting board or other surface if you stick 2 of them together. the minor bits of junk on them don’t affect the sharpening effects.

Outstanding value for such a good stone. Fast cutting and has great feedback.

I must admit that my sharpening skill is not equal to this stone. I started off with a bestor 1200 and this suhiro rica 5000. Yes,I do get good edges with this as a polishing stone. In the process I have given this stone divits and have not flattened it yet. Yes I need to flatten it but I am on a budget. This is a softer stone and it takes practice to be able to sharpen on it without cutting gouges in the stone. Learn your blade angles on harder stones. Lately,I have been much better at holding an angle. But I am fully willing to admit it is not the stones fault. It is my fault.

So,through experience I can confidently say that learning on cheaper lesser grit stones how to hold your knife and stroke it during sharpening is invaluable. Tread gently on polishing stones as they are easier to gouge. Cheers!

The bestor 1200 is a rock! It removes metal and is a very sturdy stone that does not wear away as much as the polishing stone that I have.

I am new to sharpening but the bestor 1200 seems like a winner as it is hard,double sided,and I can leave it in a soak without having to baby sit it before sharpening.

My only complaint is that I am new to sharpening and I think I remove too much metal with it. That is my fault while learning the technique. It is not the stones fault... it is mine.

I am of the opinion that I was recommended a very good stone for what it is. I just have to learn to use it better.

Sharpening is learning.

This is my first whetstone so I’m still learning,but these seem like a solid buy and the prices/service/shipping were top notch at chefknivestogo.com

If I lost my stone collection,this would be the first stone I would buy. It’s really easy to use,cuts extremely fast,and has a nice smooth feel. It doesn’t need much soaking but if you leave it in water for a long time,it doesn’t make the stone feel mushy. I can get my knives sharp enough using only this stone,although I prefer to use finishing stones. I can’t think of a single fault with this stone.

Great stone for the price. Cuts fast and is nice and hard. One of the first stones I started with,very good by for someone looking for a first stone. Leave a good edge that doesn’t need much refinement.

My go-to intermediate stone. Good width even for long chef’s knives. An excellent cutter with decent feedback; it leaves a good "working edge" which can be further refined on higher grit stones. An excellent value!

First waterstone I have ever used so take my review for what it is,a rank novices opinion. However,coming from oilstones to this is a revelation. I also have a few diamond plates,both eze lap plates of 600 and 1200. I will say that the bester 1200 is a completely different animal than the eze 1200. The finish is much better. I do understand about feedback and I think this stone has great feedback. A really nice feel in use and easy to tell when you are off angle. The sound and the feel change instantly. I am very happyso far to have made the switch and with my choice of stones. By the way,I use my stones for woodworking tools. Plane blades and chisels and the like,carbon steel and the cutting action is fine on this steel.

If you don’t own a CCK cleaver you are missing out on one of the pillars of knifedom. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but this type of knife and this brand in particular are possibly used by more cooks and chefs around the world than any other.

Chan Chi Kee (CCK) is a kitchen knife and supply company located in Hong Kong. They supply the local and international market with a full range of kitchenware and cutlery. They manufacture all of their cutlery in-house using fine steels and traditional methods, honed over decades.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a perfect tool for professional and amateur chefs looking for a maintenance free Chinese style cutter. This is designed as a vegetable slicer. It is not a heavy duty cleaver that would be used to chop bones and hard items. The blade is quite thin for this type of knife and it makes for a very easy-to-use processor of ingredients.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a great introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese cleavers. You will be amazed at how efficient and controllable it is. Around the world, many cooks say a cleaver is their number one knife for the majority of their cutting, slicing, and chopping duties. Try one out and you might agree! Highly recommended.

At least they are in the minds of many chefs who swear by their fast and efficient ability to take on a huge variety of cutting, chopping, and slicing duties.

Of course they are the default chef knife in China and other Asian countries. As such they obviously are able to do everything the western or Japanese chef knife can do.

What is amazing is that despite their size and weight, they can process the smallest of ingredients with a deft action. This particular example is even more adept at these delicate tasks as it comes with a rather thin blade compared to other cleavers of this size. The blade also takes a really impressive edge.

This knife features a carbon steel construction, so rusting and corrosion can take place if you let it stay wet or dirty.

Once you get to use and appreciate the subtleties of the Chinese cleaver you might also become a proponent of the school that believes that this is the only knife a chef needs for the vast majority of his or her daily cutting requirements.

For the price this cleaver is a amazing bargain. I recommend it to any person who enjoys using a vegetable cleaver for home or pro use. it has a thin blade,light wight,and decent stock edge I took it to work day of arrival and was and still am very happy with the knife. Now I understand why it has "a cult following among some knife forum members"

Oh yeah if you are a cleaver guy forget the small and get this one you will be glad you did.

I didn’t know how much I enjoyed cleavers until I got this knife. I have a Shun,and several other chef knifes,and I enjoy the versatility and ability of this cleaver more than my other knives. The edge keeps for a great long time and you can bang it around. I work as a banquet cook and use my knifes all day. Also,totally stoked for getting the larger version of this cleaver.

I was searching all over for an authentic CarbonSteel Chinese Cleaver in Germany,all i could find was either StainlessSteel made in china or good but expensive japanese made Cleaver. My search ended,when i accidaently stumoled on Chefknivestogo.

A few Days after the Order,the Cleaver arrived at my Home in Germany.

It exactly like i wanted it,very,very thin Blade measuring 231x110mmm,After a few strikes on my 1000/3000 Combo Stone it achieved a pretty good edge,sharp enough to be cut newspaper. Edge Holding Capability is comparable with the famous german Herder Windmuehle Carbon Knives,good but not as good as Jap Hagane Steel.

Recently,i took it on the Stones again in Order to remove some of the rustprotecting Laquer and smoothed the Edges of the Spine. Now it has taken a nice Patina,which i prefer on a Carbon Knife.

This Knife has become on of my Favorites in my Selection among my traditional Japanese Knives.

Great Buy,takes a great Edge,retains it well,easy to sharpen,kick ass Profile => highly recommended !!

By: Christopher Alford

The knife was a great buy. I love the size and feel of the blade in my hand. It chops through everything with ease. I don’t use it on bones,but everything else glides through the cut.

Cons: The blade got a little bit of rust after the second wash. So now I wash the blade then put a light coat of olive oil to help keep it from rusting any further.

The large CCK slicer came in the box very sharp. After about ten minutes on a fine Norton bench stone it can slice completely across a sheet of newspaper with snagging. If you are not a pro I highly reccomend watching the many U tube videos on how to use a Chinese Cleaver. If you hold it forward of the handle it handles like a dream. Although it is very different I enjoy using it every bit as much as my Wusthof 10 inch chefs knife. I like the large size and enjoy using it over my Dexter= Russel Chinese cleaver. The CCK is a no none sense tool for cutting. A tool for doing lots of cutting.

I’ve recently acquired a 1303 (small slicer) and 1103 (large slicer),and have found the 1103 to be the superior tool. It weighs 50% more (15 vs 10 ounces,rounded),and performs at a much higher level. The 1303 may have a niche for smaller users (cooking together with gf) or finer cuts,but I find myself using the 1103 90% of the time,grinning uncontrollably all the while. I love them both,but recommend the large slicer if you must choose.

The Chinese have used the cleaver since the beginning of time and the Japanese combined it with their metallurgy and created some really nice cleavers of their own.

Chan Chi Kee (also known as CCK) is a big name in Chinese Cleavers. They also make various kitchen tools and utensils for professional and home cooks.

The Li'l Rhino Cleaver gets its name from looking like the small horn on a rhinoceros. It is a perfect tool for chopping herbs and vegetables. It's also a good choice for breaking down primal cuts of meat. With its pointed tip and rounded front end, the Li'l Rhino also loves to get between bones or remove skin.

I picked up one of these years ago on a trip to Hong Kong. The edge wraps around all the way to the tip,giving you a longer edge than a standard cleaver,making it very useful for slicing cuts such as portioning fillets. Also useful for hanging style cuts as the forward edge is in a more comfortable position. Use it by making a cut drawing the blade towards you,flexing the wrist as you approach the tip.

I bought this knife on impulse because it’s cool looking. I find my self using it a lot more than I thought I would,It chops great I also have found that this knife can be held almost like a pen and the forward edge can be used to peel celleriac and large turnips. All around a fun and useful knife the steel easely takes a keen edge.

This CCK Small cleaver was used and recommended in Christopher Kimball's Milk Street Magazine, and sales have gone way up as a result. A small Chinese chef's knife is called a Sangdao and is an excellent cleaver at an even better price. It is made from carbon steel with a tough kurouchi finish. It requires extra care to keep from rusting, so it is vital to keep it clean and dry between uses.

The CCK Small Cleaver is our best-selling cleaver at CKTG. It is a wonderful introduction to the world of Chinese chef knives. The blade is relatively thin for a knife of this type and has a sharp edge. There is a very slight belly to the edge profile, which reduces the chance of the end sticking into the cutting board.

Sangdao are the perfect knives to quickly and precisely chop, julienne, and slice meats and vegetables, but they will not cut any bones...so please don't try!

This is a great choice for those wanting their first cleaver or chefs looking for a workhorse for vegetable prep.

I grew up in a household that almost exclusively used this kind of knife in the kitchen,so I was ecstatic when I found this particular knife online. Kudos to this company for doing its research! The CCK small carbon steel cleaver is an unlovely knife,but it is a workhorse when it comes to vegetable prep. It is also offered at an awesome price here. The blade is thin,easy to sharpen,and even for my small hands the handle fits comfortably. I used to always use a chef’s knife when dicing onions and slicing tomatoes instead of my old $4 (now retired) Chinese vegetable cleaver which had a thicker blade,but this one glides through with no wedging. This knife has not let me down yet! If you’re looking for an entry-level Chinese cleaver for slicing and general vegetable prep that won’t break the bank but will introduce you to what this type of knife excels at,the CCK KF 1303 is for you. Just make sure you’re willing to deal with extra hassle that comes along with carbon steel knife maintenance.

Great for chopping large quantities of veggies. Blade is very thin and glides through food without wedging. Very rustic looking with not good fit and finish and will patina/rust but still a bargain for this level of performance.

By: Lawrence

The CCK KF 1303 is a very thin blade Chinese carbon steel chef’s knife. Because it is a carbon steel knife with laminated surface,it would not rust until the laminated surface is removed. I have sharpened my knife,giving it a 10o/15o compound edge. In doing so,the bevel has no lamination and will now easily taint/rust/patina. The knife can take on an edge. The original factory edge is not too bad either.

Unlike the Dexter-Russell Chinese chef’s knife,which is also a good knife,this CCK KF1303 is a very thin blade knife. As such it is very light and can slice food with very little resistance. Excellent for most food preparation works. On the other hand,it does not have the same toughness of the thicker blade Dexter knife. I would not recommend using this thin blade knife to cut very hard objects like bones or heavy duty works.

The CCK KF 1303 does not have good finish. I bought two of these. One has a very small crack (1mm) on the handle and the other one has a very small bent at the tip of the spine. Neither has any real impact on performance,but potential buyers should not expect a great finish knife.

This is my second purchase and thus second review. I like to add that I have switched from the Dexter-Russell Chinese Chef’s knife to this CCK KF1303 knife as my main knife. They are both good knives,but KF 1303 has two big advantages. First,KF1303 can make thin and precise cuts because it is a much thinner blade knife. Second,the knife can be easily sharpened (thinner blade) and it remains sharp longer for it is made from harder steel knife.

Buyers should be aware that this KF1303 is a carbon steel knife,so it can rust and it does require more care than a stainless steel knife. In addition,it is a thin blade knife,so it cannot work on heavy duty stuffs.

The knife is just great,especially for its ridiculous low price. It out-performs knives which are twice and three times of its price.

If you want to try a cleaver out to get a change from the standard chef/gyuto ... this is the one. There is a reason these things have a cult following. The finish on these are pretty poor as mentioned elsewhere. They look like they were hand made in a back room. With that said,for the money I doubt you could get better. The profile is fantastic,the steel is good solid performing Carbon in terms of sharpness,edge retention and ease of sharpening. And personally I prefer a nice patina over scuffed up stainless. If you can’t keep your knife clean and dry you should be shopping BB&B for kitchen aid knives. Just my two sense. I am always telling Mark to rehandle some of the cheaper knives and sell them for a little more. This is one of those knives. If it have a better finished handle I would spend 50-60$ for this knife. This gets 4 stars based solely on the price. I would give it 3 if priced higher,but for 30$ the rough finish is acceptable.

Thanks to my cleaver buddy Salar B. for purchasing this for me. I thought my small was a good size but it’s nothing to the Large CCK he has. Thanks again buddy.

Its dirt cheap,and its great too. Thanks to its extremely thin grind,it can perform on par with many Japanese knives,but it can be a bit lacking in edge retention and might not support as acute of an angle. If you’re looking for a fun toy to play with,this one is highly recommended.

Oustanding knife from CCK. Shipped promptly all the way to Ireland. Makes veg prep a breeze,but used it for slicing meat wafer thin too! Got a present of a Damascus steel blade from my Girlfriend and shes not impressed that my little cleaver is never out of my hand. @ $29 you just cant go wrong!

By: Simon

This cleaver may be small when compared to their large cleaver,but at 8+ inches,it dwarfs my German meat cleaver. The balance and heft is perfect,though. It’s already an extension of my hand.

Let me add myself to the ’looks rustic’ crowd. It looks like a lawnmower blade thinned to cardstock proportions,but oh,is it ever sharp. Out of the box,it was as sharp as I’ve ever gotten a knife,though I will have to smooth the secondary bevel to make the knife really perform. That said,tomatoes,onions,rhubarb,carrots,celery,all fell to this new weapon today. It’s also very good for firm cheese and chocolate.

The one problem is that it practically takes two hands to release it from the magnetic knife strip,but I’ll get used to that.

I may be done with Stain resistant steel forever. Even with the rustic finish,I prefer this look to the shiny blades right next to it.

Thanks,Mark for providing this service so well. Once again I had my knife less than 72 hours after ordering,and I live 1000 miles away.

I doubt You could find a better veg cleaver for even twice the money. Yes,it’s rustic with its kurouchi-esq finish and raw wood handle,but this is a serious chunk of steel that will take a very keen edge. It’s thin,lite,and makes me want to make dishes that require a lot of fussy veg prep. It’s straight high carbon,and mine’s starting to patina,but this knife is all about performance,not looks.

I bought this knife for an experiment on the different styles of chef knife and cooking around the world. i have to say after trying the standard french knife,the gyuto,the santoku,and the american chef knife. this knife takes the cake. after getting this i have never worked faster and more accurate on the line. i love the weight and the length of the handle. it’s short but the way a knife is supposed to be held it’s perfect. sure handle is unfinished and the blade looks like someone took a steel train rail and turned it into a knife but that adds to the character. and personally who cares about what the knife looks like as long as it performs well. i love this knife and it is always welcome on the line at work

After i got this knife I was surprised at how much faster I rip through prep work. the knife is amazing and I recommend it to everyone. sure it looks like someone hammered a railroad spike to make a knife but it works. The only reason i give it a 4 and not a five is that the blade needed a sharpening when it arrived,but after I took it to a wet stone I have not had a better knife ever. This is always welcome on the line with me.

Being forewarned that the fit and finish of this knife was sub-par,I have to say that bang for buck,this knife cannot be touched. It holds a true razor edge,and is very versatile and fun as heck!

This knife is ok,if you really want a Chinese cleaver,buy other models,not this one,the blade is as thin as a piece of paper,which a real Chinese cleaver will never be like. I grew up in China,the real cleavers all have thin edge,but the back spine is usually pretty thick,I’d say at least 3 times thicker than the edge part,that gives the cleaver a very good feeling. Well the CCK is just too thin all over the blade which makes it too light to handel. Other than that,the knife is built with ok quality,the blade body is not flat,the edge is not straight,the handel is cheap,I have to say I’m really disappointed with it. It’s not even as good as the one I use to have,and I got it from a local blacksmith in a really small town where I grew up. I’d say that one is at least 3 times better and the price is 10 times cheaper.

I ordered one to see what everyone was talking about. After about a year of using mine I can say that I love it.

By: John B

I’ve been using the blade for about a week,and I love it. Light and comfortable,then and great for slicing and chopping.

There are two minor complaints. One is the decision to round out the edge. Though they justify this by saying the edge would otherwise catch on the cutting board,that’s really only a result of improper use. I think a flat edge is better on a cleaver,because when you’re chopping fast you don’t want the outer edges of the blade to leave ingredients uncut.

The second is in how well the edge holds. It does well for the value,but if you’re using the knife in a professional environment,heavy use will quickly dull the blade. If this is important to you,invest in a Japanese-made Chinese chef’s knife,though if you’re only using this at home I doubt you’ll have anything to complain about!

For 35 bucks though,these complaints are really minor...

This is an excellent knife that gets very sharp on the chosera outfitted edge pro that I bought along with it. The blade seems to be mostly happy with the screaming sharp 12 degree primary edge I put on it. However at 12 degrees,I find that the blade needs a run across the steel about every 45 min of service to keep it scary sharp. After putting a microbevel on the blade,I find that the edge stability is much better without any sacrifice in sharpness (reducing the need to steel). Minus one star for lacquered blade and a handle that still looks ugly even when drowned in mineral oil. On a final note,this blade is a great value well deserving of it’s cult status on the cutlery forums. If you want to watch vegetables melt before you,this knife is a great starting point.

If you have been on the fence about getting this item,just do it! You will not regret. 5 star is for the value of the price/performance. I spray painted mine with the black "pasticote" style paint from Lowes.

This knife arrived today,so I have only a dinner’s worth of experience to review... But I’m crazy for this cleaver. The handle is "rustic" but flawless,in this case. The blade thin and sharp and made very short work of some very precise cuts of veggies. Being a vegetarian,I won’t test on "proteins" as the word is used in culinary circles. But this thing is super sharp,super easy to handle,unbelievably well priced for wat I have. It seems robust enough,too,though I won’t test it as a "lobster cracker" or some such thing. When I get my sharpening skills together I can review it from that side,too... but given that it’s an inexpensive carbon-steel cleaver,it promises to be one of the easier knives in my collection in this regard,too. Thanks!

Order arrived quickly and the order experience was excellent. I grew up in a rural area where functional wood handles and non stainless steel butcher and pocket knives were normal. I have a few that are 60 or more years old and still work fine. But they need to be kept relatively clean and dry when not in use. This cleaver is sharp and has easily cut everything I’ve used it for. I like the height that keeps fingers away from what is being cut and the shape that allows putting pressure on the front top. I like it for pizzas better than the rolling style cutters.

Everyone should own this CCK small cleaver - it’s light,very sharp and easy to sharpen,great at scooping up cut veggies and quite inexpensive.

I didn’t really know what to expect when I ordered this knife. It was an impulse buy. It comes nicely sharpened and looks awesome hanging on my magnetic knife strip. So far I have used it to chop up vegetables and apples. It is comfortable to use and is a nice option to have in my knife collection.

5 stars,particularly for value. Not bad fit and finish out of the box. Haven’t had a chance to sharpen it yet but it is a great knife,fun to use,and will only get better once it sees the stone.

I originally bought this for my Taiwanese mom-in-law whose decreasing strength made her long ago retire her crude heavy chinese cleaver. I have a Chan Chi Kee #3 large cleaver that I love and use extensively,esp. when faced with large amounts of asian root vegetables. However I’ve found the #3 small cleaver is very well-balanced,agile,and makes short work of small veggies and herbs. AND it looks awfully cool. So,I’ve selfishly decided to keep the it for myself and maybe order another for mom-in-law or perhaps a Nakiri. While I’ve found Chan Chi Kees are extremely sharp right out-of-the-box,they can be sharpened to razor sharpness. And they have a big WOW factor for easily impressed foodies when you hang them on a magnetic strip next to your Japanese,German,French and other kitchen knives. Seriously though,if you’re toying with the idea of a chinese cleaver,they are awesome tools and Chan Chi Kees are the best.

love the knife for all the right reasons. good price,holds an edge wonderfully and sharpens easily,now i just have to get used to a chinese chef knife,but so far for prep alone i love the multi-tasking ability of the knife. not to mention the quality service of CKTG.

Awesome tool!! I am a chef and one of my coworkers recommended this cleaver and I got one from CKTG. It holds a really great edge,it’s great with vegetables,and it is so big you can use it as a board scraper. You will enjoy this cleaver for sure!

By: James B

I must say it is a rough finish,but an outstanding production blade.It is thin esp. at the tip,I put a double blended shinoge line on the edge,very sharp.I also like the rocker on this cleaver some have too much,& I dont like the totally straight ones either.The gentle rocker of this vegitable cleaver puts alot of blade edge on the board making it good for chopping & forward push cuts as well.If you do not mind it’s rough looks & the little extra care of carbon,you cannot lose at this price.

I heard about this cleaver on Kitchen Knife Forums. I received it as a Christmas gift and was thrilled with the sharpness out of the box! The cleaver is rustic,and I wish I could have afforded the custom handle. I feel that it would have been worth the upgrade. However,the standard handle is sufficient. The cleaver is worthy of a custom handle! As stated earlier,it was sharp out of the box. Once it was put on the stones,it became extremely sharp and it is a fantastic knife!

For the forty dollars I spent on it,I really love this knife! I’ve purchased other Chinese cleaver,but I’ve never been able to find one with such a thin blade. It makes for an awesome slicer. The steel takes a pretty steep,refined edge and holds it well. After several nights of moderate to heavy home use,the blade still shaves the hair off my arm after a bit of stropping. The only issue I’ve had with it is chipping of the blade. After dicing some sweet potatoes with it (yea,probably a dumb idea to begin with - I almost went with a heftier knife,but decided to test the cck instead)there were several small chips all along the length of the edge. I sharpened it at 15 degrees per side,so that may have contributed to the problem. The blade was still shaving sharp except for the chipped areas,though!

Love this thing! was my first cleaver and i gotta say this thing takes a wicked edge! just a quick run on a 1k Arashiyama and a hone on an 8k Kitayama and it push cuts newspaper / printer paper and rips through veggies with a purpose! would recommend this knife to anyone.

OK,I don’t know anything about knives. When I retired,I decided to take a cooking class. She said the CCK 1303 was the nu plus ultra of Chinese Cleavers. Since I was a young man,I have put up with using dull knives and hating the process of trying to hack through vegetables and making a mess of every attempt. With this cleaver,not only is every cut clean and precise,it is just a joy to work with. If you are tired of stainless steel knives that don’t hold an edge,this is the vegetable cleaver for you! Buy one and see if I’m not right.

By: Len Thiel

Woodbury,MN

Bought this as an all-purpose knife; was raised in a chinese household,so I prefer the feel of this cleaver. As other people said,the blade is very thin,and it is carbon steel,so it does require some extra care. This knife is fantastic to use for veggies,and it’s easy and quick to sharpen. For the price,there’s no better bargain if you’re looking for this kind of knife. I highly recommend this knife.

Great knife,Razor sharp. Nice wooden handle although total knife weight is pretty light would like to have a little more weight. Had to re adjust while cutting from a french chef’s knife. But I love this knife does its job.

Not a premium cleaver but a superior kitchen tool. All I did was strop it on leather to achieve an excellent edge. This cleaver/knife is becoming my new goto chef knife. Today it amazed me cutting a whole watermelon easier than any other knife I ever used. Why care about average looks?

By: mrsupport

Mantua,oh

i was disapointed with the sharpness. It works fine but dont expect effortless cutting. this knife is just as sharp as my victronix chef knife but nowhere near a higher quality knife. i really dont enjoy using it and use it to cut big things mainly like a block of butter or if i really need to beat up on something.

Might not be the prettiest knife on the planet,but it makes up for it in outstanding performance. Takes a great edge,a breeze to sharpen,and stands up to hours upon hours of being brutalized in every manner possible in a professional kitchen.

I cook supper almost every night,because I want to. It’s restorative and a time of contemplation. And it’s FUN. That in mind,this knife is FUN. How can you go wrong with a $40 knife that sharpens easily and cuts well? I did rehandle mine,knocking up the "star value."

By: Tom Gray

Seagrove,NC

Great utility knife. Light and nimble and best of all it’s carbon. Had to tweak it a bit on my stones to get the edge I am used to. Great all around knife and an excellent choice for anyone’s first foray into the world of Chinese style cutlery.

Cleaver very sharp right out of the box. Hit it on a 10k just to be safe. Has become my go to veg knife. It is a wonderful intro cleaver. I am already planning buying another cleaver. My only complaint is the barrel handle. But what do you expect for 40 bucks. Wonderful knife. I would buy it again.

I’m sorry to be a downer,I have other knives from you I love but this one is a big disappointment. It chips way too easily. The edge on ours looks like a saw blade and we take very good care of it,no rust,but the edge is badly chipped. We have not used it as a cleaver...only to cut. Maybe I just got a bad one.

By: James Piazzola

Pomona,CA

Cleaver is great,very thin behind the edge. The steel is on the reactive side of the spectrum. Take that with a grain of salt though as my only experience with carbon steel has been with old french carbon steel knives and they didn’t react as much. Speaking of those old knives,I love their look so I removed the lacquer on this knife with acetone and then sanded off the finish. Stained the knife brown with an apple cider vinegar soak followed by a rinse in hot water. Scrubbed the loose oxide off and now my knife looks like it is a hundred years old. I wouldn’t recommend doing that to your knife if it is to be your go to knife. Removing the lacquer will leave more of the taste of iron on reactive foods. It diminishes with wear,but it will always be there and it is much more noticeable with the lacquer off. Not a big deal on potatoes that you cook or on onions that have such a strong taste,but it is quite noticeable on something like an apple slice.

I purchased this knife about a year ago and have since upgraded to the 1103. This knife is an absolute laser. I’m pretty sure they use magic to create the steel,pretty good retention,and so mind bogglingly thin behind the edge that after sharpening you can conceivably split atoms. Edge is easily maintained on a honing steel. Kurouchi is smooth and not at all grabby. This is the ultimate cleaver if you want to try out that technique.

If you don't own a CCK cleaver, you are missing out on one of the pillars of knifedom. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but this type of knife and this brand in particular are possibly used by more cooks and chefs around the world than any other.

Chan Chi Kee (CCK) is a kitchen knife and supply company located in Hong Kong. They supply the local and international market with a full range of kitchenware and cutlery. They manufacture all of their cutlery in-house using fine steels and traditional methods, honed over decades.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a perfect tool for professional and amateur chefs looking for a maintenance-free Chinese-style cutter. This is designed as a vegetable slicer and chopper. It is not a heavy-duty cleaver that would be used to chop bones and hard items. The blade is quite thin for this type of knife and it makes for a very easy-to-use processor of small to medium ingredients.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a great introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese cleavers. You will be amazed at how efficient and controllable it is. Around the world, many cooks say a cleaver is their number one knife for the majority of their cutting, slicing, and chopping duties. Try one out and you might agree! Highly recommended.

He uses car and truck leaf springs as his steel of choice. This is not quite as crazy as it sounds because these car parts are made with some rather good high-carbon steel. Most leaf springs are made from 5160, which is an excellent blade steel.

We asked him to make us some unusual shapes that resemble traditional knives, and this fun bunka-style blade is one of his responses. The blade runs approximately 180mm at the edge and has a curved belly starting just a couple of inches from the heel. Every blade is going to be slightly different in these dimensions.

Let's make no mistake here. These knives have pits, scratches, hammer marks, and other cladding imperfections. Rustic is a word that definitely comes to mind when looking at them. But the other word that comes out when you experience them is SHARP! These knives have a fantastic edge that, if not exactly perfect out of the box, gets there quickly with a few strokes on your favorite stone.

While the handle is also not perfect, it actually feels really nice in hand. A bit of sanding and some varnish or oil will take it to a very acceptable level. We think these knives are perfect for projects, new sharpeners, or anyone looking for a really low-cost cutter that has personality and uniqueness in spades. Watch the video below to see how they're made. If you're into great fit and finish or are overly particular, look elsewhere! But if you want to try a piece of living history and you're not uptight about a less-than-perfect but excellent cutting tool, then you'll love it.

Honesuki knives are boning knives specifically designed for parting out the poultry. These blades are stiff and robust with pointed tips and a triangular profile. This design enables the user to get into the tightest places and strip the meat from the bone with a precision no other blade can achieve. It is a knife similar to the torigarasuki/garasuki.

The kurouchi finish on the blade is smooth and well-finished. And while the fit and finish are not stellar, the actual grinds of these low-cost blades are rather special. The heat treatment is also of very respectable quality.

However, this is a Western-style kiritsuke knife, so it is ground on both sides of the blade for ease of use and maintenance. Knives like this are sometimes referred to as a kiritsuke gyuto. This design is easier to use and sharpen than the traditional single-bevel kiritsuke. It also allows for an ambidextrous personality to the knife.

The Daovua interpretation of this style blade has a more pronounced belly than most other kiris, making it a good choice for push-and-pull-cutting and rocking techniques. However, the extended edge length also makes it a very workable slicer.

We originally purchased a handful of knives from him to give our forum members a chance to try them. Well, the response was overwhelmingly positive!

The knives do not possess the highest level of fit and finish. They are not made from exotic materials. And they are as much a curio as a desirable kitchen knife. But what they do possess is a character and an ability to cut that is as good as many knives we sell.

The blades themselves are fashioned from old leaf springs. These auto cast-offs are actually a great source of knife steel, usually being made from 5160 steel. In fact, many highly regarded US custom knife makers use this steel source for their expensive creations. The blade is super thin and ground really well. With a height of 90mm and an edge length of about 210mm, it resembles a classic Chinese cleaver ratio.

Putting aside the less-than-perfect finish, one thing everyone agrees on is their cutting ability. These blades are sharp and take an incredible edge. For someone looking for a unique version of a cleaver, a fun project knife, or a sharpening practice knife, the Daovua is a perfect and high-value choice. Please remember these are made with used steel, so you should expect that they're rough and have imperfections that exceed most of our other knives.

These auto cast-offs are usually made from 5160 steel, which is a wonderful alloy for many knife blade applications. In fact, several highly regarded custom knife makers use this steel source for their (sometimes) expensive creations. These knives are carbon steel so you need to keep them dry after using and washing or they will rust.

We discovered Daovua, a Vietnamese company, several years ago. And while their first blades could best be described as project knives, they have made some changes that have resulted in a huge improvement in quality.

While not quite a great oak, the Daovua knife company has grown—from a fledgling enterprise in Vietnam making knife and tool blades out of old car parts, to a thriving business that has spread into making some really great kitchen utensils at super attractive prices.

Their blades are fashioned from recycled leaf springs taken from old cars and trucks. This is not as bizarre as it sounds, as many top-flight blacksmiths dip into this widely available source to make their highly prized blades. But unlike these fancy and often expensive works of art, the Nhat family makes more down-to-earth creations that are more function than form. Make no mistake, these knives look like they came out of a charcoal fire with hammer marks, scratches, pitting, and other cladding flaws. If you like perfect fit and finish, you may need to look elsewhere. One important attribute of these blades is how they take an incredibly sharp edge.

This knife is a classic nakiri in shape and profile but with a much taller stance. It is almost a cross between a cleaver and nakiri except that it is very thin and made to cut vegetables of all kinds with ease.

So for someone seeking a unique version of a nakiri, the Daovua Tall Nakiri is a perfect and high-value choice. Please remember these are made under fairly rough conditions with recycled steel, so you should expect that they will have imperfections that you will not see in our other knives. But this should not dissuade anyone looking for a low-priced kitchen knife that is exceedingly sharp and rather unique.

Care Instructions:

Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately after each use. Do not put in the dishwasher.

Carbon steel will naturally form a dark patina that helps protect against rust. This is normal and desirable.

If red rust appears, remove it gently with a rust eraser or Bar Keepers Friend.

For added protection, lightly oil the blade with food-grade mineral or camellia oil before storage.

Store in a dry place, ideally in a saya, sheath, or on a magnetic strip.

The profile of this tall petty is as rounded as we've seen, so it will resonate with the rockers out there. It is a monster at chopping herbs and other small ingredients. Like the blade, the handle is not the best in the industry but with a bit of sanding and maybe some varnish, you will have a grip that is easy and secure in your hands.

So if you seek a fun project knife or a cheap and cheerful small ingredient chopper, the Daovua might just be all you need. Plus you get to tell a great story about it and its makers!

Just one look at the blade. One listen to the story behind it. Any knife-loving collector will find it hard to resist!

For several years, we have been buying knives from a company in Vietnam that we discovered by pure chance. We started off with a very simple and very rough santoku. But during that time, we have seen a huge improvement in the knives they send us and an ever-increasing diversity of those knives in terms of styles and profiles.

Enter the kiri cleaver, which we nicknamed The Tank! This unique blade is basically a kiritsuke-tipped cleaver. It has a fairly substantial curve to the edge, making it a rocker's dream. But the tanto tip makes it a better choice for more delicate slicing and food prep. Also, the reverse angle tip means there is a lower spine-to-edge ratio. Less spine, less weight. In this case we think it represents almost a 2oz saving over a regular cleaver of similar dimensions!

The blades themselves are fashioned from old leaf springs. These auto cast-offs are a great source of knife steel, usually made from 5160 steel. A well-finished and good-looking octagonal handle finishes off this unusual but efficient cutting tool.

Gabe Mabry of Doberman Forge in Albemarle, North Carolina crafts each knife with a combination of technical precision and a deep understanding of culinary performance. Drawing on his background in professional cooking, Gabe designs and grinds every blade by hand to achieve balance, control, and cutting efficiency.

This gyuto is forged from 80CrV2, a high-performance carbon steel favored for its strength, resilience, and reliable edge retention. Comparable in character to 5160 and 52100, 80CrV2 offers excellent toughness while maintaining fine edge stability. Each blade is heat-treated to approximately HRC 61 to optimize hardness without sacrificing durability.

The profile follows a modern gyuto form with a slightly flatter section toward the heel for push cutting and a smooth gradual curve leading to a well-defined tip. The geometry is clean and purposeful, offering predictable performance across a wide range of prep tasks.

The full tang construction is fitted with dyed stabilized burlwood scales shaped for comfort and stability in hand. Each handle shows unique color and figure variations, adding subtle character to the piece without distracting from its functional intent.

Care and Maintenance
80CrV2 is a high carbon steel and will develop a natural patina over time. To prevent rust, wash and dry the knife thoroughly after each use and avoid soaking. Apply a light coat of camellia or mineral oil if storing for an extended period. Use only soft cutting boards such as wood or high-quality plastic and avoid contact with bones, frozen foods, or hard surfaces. Regular honing and occasional sharpening on quality water stones will keep the edge performing at its best.

MagnaCut is a next-generation stainless steel developed by Crucible Industries in collaboration with knifemaker and metallurgist Larrin Thomas. Launched in 2021, it has quickly gained recognition for its well-balanced characteristics.

MagnaCut was engineered to excel in three critical areas: corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. Where traditional steels often sacrifice one attribute for another, MagnaCut achieves impressive performance across all three.

These subtle design elements, such as the slightly raised tip and straighter spine, create a versatile edge profile. The flatter heel section is ideal for push cuts, while the gradual curve supports a wide range of cutting techniques.

His father is the great Keijiro Doi, one of the knife world's true legends. Itsuo Doi worked alongside his father for almost 50 years producing the highest quality blades for chefs and collectors worldwide. Keijiro Doi was acclaimed for perfecting a very difficult low-temperature forging technique known as eyakidoshii and was a pioneer of forging Ao-ko No.2 (Blue Steel), which was previously thought to be an impossible task.

The medium-length gyuto featured here is constructed from Itsuo-san’s favorite steel, Aogami #2, which he hardens to 62+ HRC. The jigane is made using a soft iron applied in the san-mai style. Of course, as it is carbon steel, this knife is reactive and will need careful maintenance to prevent rusting. The exposed edge steel receives a beautiful high polish which contrasts well with the outer cladding’s satin finish.

This mid-sized 218mm knife has a slightly tall blade height. It is quite stout at the spine and very stiff at the tip. It boasts a symmetrical 50/50 edge and a really well-formed profile, suitable for both push and rocking cutters.

One look at this knife and you know you are seeing something very special. We asked for a very classic and thin chef knife profile and Doi-san delivered in spades!

I bought the Edge Pro Apex 1 kit about a month ago and I am delighted with my new little friend. The edge pro system gives you the precise repeatable sharpening motion that you need to sharpen almost anything. I bought the Apex 1 because I was skeptical and wanted to start with the basic model and I also wanted the freedom to buy just the sharpening stones I actually need. I am very happy with the results ☺ If you need a sharp knife like I do then the Edge Pro Apex is for perfect for you.

Bought the basic model and the two extra stones to avoid paying for the ceramic and all the extra stuff I dont want. It came out cheaper. Shipped and arrive pretty fast also. I recommend getting an angle cube just to make sure your angle is right. Its not the products fault,the built in angles do not work for all products. No product is capable of delivering that kind of accuracy. This product and site is good.

This is a good start,but 2 things you are desperately going to need. One is the CKTG custom made drill stop thingy,it is a must have at 4.00 dollars. You will also need either a lapping stone,or the edge pro stone leveling kit,you can’t sharpen more than a couple knives before your stones will dish out and deform. This is a real pain,the leveling kit is about 50 bucks. I bought this kit with the drill stop and the 1k stone,I was getting along great but had to wait for the leveling kit to ship from edge pro.

This handy tool will allow a novice to put razor sharp edges on his or her knives in no time. But this is not a system just for novices...it is used industry wide by chefs and line cooks who need a quick repeatable sharpening regime that is compact to carry and easy to set up.

The Apex removes nicks and dings without distorting the knife edge. It creates no heat, preserving the temper of your knives. It sets up in seconds on any smooth surface. No power required and comes with a convenient carrying case. It requires no maintenance other than routine cleaning. The kit #3 includes 5 water stones covering the gamut from course to ultra fine. The package also comes with those small items needed to complete your sharpening tasks like a water bottle, micro fibre towel and a 1200 grit ceramic hone.

Though an Edge Pro edge will remain sharp much longer than a standard edge, even Edge Pro'd knives will become dull with use. Use the supplied Ceramic Sharpening Hone in between sharpening to rejuvenate your dull edge. The Ceramic Sharpening Hone will resharpen an Edge Pro'd knife in seconds and it will do it over and over again because it removes so little metal. You will find you can go through several different honing routines in between Edge Pro sharpening. The Ceramic Sharpening Hone is very fine 1200-grit and while pretty useless on factory edges, it is magic on Edge Pro'd knives. Whether you are a professional chef, hard working line cook or aspiring amateur, this kit is pretty much all you will need to keep your precious blades at their peak of performance. The Edge Pro Apex system is easy, safe and a huge saver of time. We highly recommend these wonderful sharpening kits.

I was disappointed that the base was made of plastic (albeit high-quality Nylon). Regardless,the system works very well...my knives are sharp! Too bad it is so expensive.

I was never very good with freehand sharpening/ polishing. So I sucked it up and bought this system. I say sucked it up but how much would it cost to buy five stones and a ceramic rod? Not that big a difference. Granted those stones are bigger and will last longer but given the learning curve and the time saved,this seems like a good trade off for me. There are limitations-the depth of the blade. I have a cleaver that is too big but if I take the guide off and use a custom cut block back there I should be fine. Also hawksbill knives--but I don’t have any. I should be able to do scimitar shaped blades in a much more controlled manner than freehand. Overall I am very happy with this system.

Great product! Handles tanto’s,recurves,serrated,little,big knives and more! Extremely well made! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to sharpen several knives to a perfect edge. If you are only using it for 1 or 2 knives... it may be a waste of money. If you are using this for hunting/fishing/camping/and kitchen... then you will not find a better system out there!

Perfected from 20 years of sharpening over 100,000 knives, Ben Dale manufactures the world's most accurate knife sharpening system designed with the end user in mind. Whether you are a chef, butcher, hunter or simply someone that just likes knife sharpening, the Apex Edge Pro Sharpener is the tool for you.

The Edge Pro Apex offers a wide array of abrasive grits and sharpening angles, making it much more flexible in that regard than most clamp and v-rod systems. The cutting speed is also high with the very abrasive nature of the coarse hone and the ability to apply heavy pressure.

The sharpener allows for smooth variation of angle from 10 to 35 degrees per side. Several degree increments are marked out clearly (10,15,18,21,24), but you are not fixed at using these set angles. The five aluminum oxide water stones included in this kit are one inch wide and six inches long. They are mounted securely on the guide rod with the use of clamps between plastic molded grips. These clamps also serve as protection from the stone slipping off the knife and damaging the edge. As the blanks are not permanently fixed to the guide rod they can easily be used for field freehand honing if desired. The hones can also be reversed to slow down hollowing.

This “ultimate” kit includes everything you will need to sharpen and maintain your knives with a quick, safe and repeatability that will make you smile every time you use it.

One of the standout features of Stando is its curved stand positioned in the middle of the tool, which provides ample surface area for finger placement and grip. When not in use, the stand keeps the tips of the tweezers elevated off the ground.

Strategically positioned, the curve of Stando is designed to lean on a variety of vessels, including 1/9 pans, pint containers, bowls, and pan handles with a lip or corner.

Don't let the idea of tweezers being solely for microgreens and delicate plating fool you. Stando is a practical and essential tool for everyday use. I highly encourage you to give it a try.

The edge steel is still exposed so care is required to keep it from rusting. The cladding receives a very attractive nashiji or pear skin finish.

The primary grind of the blade starts high up on the face and imparts a great contrast to the nashiji portion. It is extremely well executed. The choil area has a very nice radius to it and together with the spine is polished to a high finish. The profile is nicely formed with a fairly flat main section giving way to a gentle curve towards the tip.

Fit and finish are of equally fine quality and this attribute is emphasized with the addition of a lovely octagonal handle with a buffalo horn ferrule. With a 50/50 grind, it is a good choice for both left- and right-handed users. The profile is quite curved for a gyuto and this makes it an especially good blade for rocking cutters.

This 210mm gyuto is crafted with Hitachi Blue #2 steel hardened to 62–63 HRC, providing excellent edge retention and cutting ability. The carbon steel core is clad in SUS 405 stainless steel, which adds strength and reduces overall weight while also improving resistance to corrosion compared to a full carbon construction. The edge steel remains exposed, so proper care and drying are necessary to prevent rust.

The blade is finished in a refined nashiji, or pear skin, texture that enhances food release and gives the knife a traditional aesthetic.

Gihei was established in 1928, specializing in the production of nakiri-type (three-laminate knives) kitchen knives, either as santoku, kakugata or kengata (also gyuto or gyutu). These knives were manufactured in the traditional way, and Gihei built a very good reputation based on these principles.

Current owner Atsushi Hosokawa, together with his son, has made his goal to preserve the outstanding characteristics of Japanese knives, like high sharpness, hardness, and ease of sharpening, but to work on some of the admitted disadvantages, such as the relatively brittle edge and susceptibility to rust. The Blue #2 line of knives featured here are a result of that endeavor. The blade has excellent grinds. Heat treatment of the blue #2 steel is really well executed, resulting in a HRC of 62-63. Edge retention and ease of sharpening are very much a feature of these blades. The stainless cladding has a very nice nashiji finish which adds to the strength and overall stability of the knife. They are also easy to maintain.

This is a well-proportioned knife with a generous height and lovely profile. The oak octagonal handle with buffalo horn ferrule is finished to a high standard and complements the beautiful nashiji cladding perfectly.

We do not have a saya that fits this knife.

The bunka featured here is constructed using HAP40 PM semi-stainless steel as the inner core (hagane) with a strong outer jigane made from stainless steel. HAP40 is a very good steel for kitchen knives, especially when heat-treated to 65-66 HRC. The heat treatment applied to Gihei blades is of notable quality. This combination results in a knife that takes an excellent edge and stays sharp for a long time.

Bunka knives have gained in popularity since we started asking our blacksmiths to make them several years ago. They are prized for their handy, user-friendly size and chef's knife-like versatility.

Their compact size and interesting profile have found a new legion of users in both professional and home environments. This is a vegetable cutter of the highest order. The flat edge and extra finger clearance make it an excellent choice for users who prefer push-cutting over a rocking style. The thin blade is made from super-hard steel called HAP40, a powdered metallurgy (PM) alloy. The steel is exquisitely heat-treated to a high 65-66 HRC.

This knife takes a very sharp edge and holds it for a long time. The blade profile is very flat, even for a nakiri, with a small radius right at the tip end for smaller rock-chopping tasks.

The core HAP40 steel is wrapped in a stainless steel outer layer to aid strength and wear resistance. The cladding is nicely polished, together with the lovely, semi-custom oak octagonal handle with an urushi finish.

As mentioned, the blade is quite thin with virtually no taper. The height at the heel is about 50mm, which is slightly less than average for a nakiri of this length. Fit and finish are of a high standard, which, combined with its other fine attributes, qualify the Gihei HAP40 nakiri as a great value.

Petty knives are small utility knives of Japanese design. They can vary significantly in profile and size, going from 75mm to 210mm. Petty knives are similar to the typical western paring or utility knife and are adept at many small, detailed cutting tasks. They also excel at preparing garnishes and other artistic endeavors.

We love how Atsushi Hosokawa and his associates use the best steels and techniques. Partnered to the fine blade is a lovely semi-custom walnut octagonal handle with a burnt urushi finish. Sweet looks, great performance, and a fair price combine to make this versatile petty a great value.

Little needs to be said about AS, or Aogami Super. This Hitachi Metals steel is considered to be just about the best mix of high carbon steels used in the making of kitchen knives. All of the Hitachi Carbon steels can deliver amazing levels of sharpness and AS is about as good as it can get in this regard. Plus, it is very easy to sharpen, resulting in silky smooth cuts through any produce.

The Harukaze AS Morado Gyuto 210mm comes slightly over-sized in length at about 215mm on the edge. It is ground with an aggressive edge bevel and a steep angle at the cutting edge. This is a very sharp knife! It has a fairly thin blade that tapers down to a very thin tip. The blade is quite stiff with a nice neutral feel on the boards.

Fit and finish are outstanding for the price and the attractive oval handle made from walnut and maple is nicely installed.

We asked them for a line of knives that would embody the traditions of Japanese knife making while using some of the best steels and modern techniques—and at a price point that would be affordable to most chefs on the line and at home. Enter the Harukaze AS Morado!

These great-looking knives are made from one of our all-time favorite steels, Aogami Super or Super Blue. This has to be one of the best alloys available for making kitchen knives. It is a hard steel that can be taken to a high Rockwell rating. But it is also one that will sharpen with ease while taking a razor-sharp edge. The inner core of AS steel is clad, san-mai style, with a softer stainless steel. The jigane is then given a kurouchi and tsuchime finish. This makes for a very easy-to-maintain blade and a really smart-looking knife.

In keeping with many blades from the Tosa region, this blade is slightly over length, coming in at 245mm. These are really well achieved grinds that look better than the price would suggest. The spine thickness is pretty constant along the length up to the thin tip.

A very nicely finished oval handle made from rosewood and maple completes this compelling picture.

The look is the most obvious attraction. Resembling weapons more than any other kitchen knife shape, kiritsuke knives are quite unusual in many other ways. Just as important as the look is the function they provide from having a slightly flatter profile than a regular gyuto. The fine tip is also great for intricate detail work.

Classic Japanese kiritsukes are single-beveled knives. Using a double bevel enhances durability at the edge and gives an ambidextrous personality to the blade overall. This style of blade is perfect for push and pull cutting, plus the flatter edge makes it a good substitute for a slicer. The knife will be a favorite with cooks who do a lot of protein work and veggie prep, as well as those who like to push rather than rock through large ingredients.

The blade of this kiri is made from Aogami Super, one of the most popular high carbon steel alloys used in the making of Japanese knives. AS possesses very good edge retention and fine edge capabilities. Wear resistance is average, but it is quite easy to sharpen. The core steel on this knife is hardened to about 63 HRC. It is reactive so wiping down and drying should be done after every use. The hagane is clad in the san-mai style, with a softer semi-stainless steel. This greatly increases corrosion protection, which makes the knife so much easier to maintain. It comes attached to a nice rosewood oval handle with a maple ferrule.

We asked them for a line of knives that would embody the traditions of Japanese knife making while using some of the best steels and modern techniques—and at a price point that would be affordable to most chefs on the line and at home. Enter the Harukaze AS Morado!

These great-looking knives are made from one of our all-time favorite steels, Aogami Super or Super Blue. This has to be one of the best alloys available for making kitchen knives. It is a hard steel that can be taken to a high Rockwell rating. But it is also one that will sharpen with ease while taking a razor-sharp edge. The inner core of AS steel is clad, san-mai style, with softer stainless steel. The jigane is then given a kurouchi and tsuchime finish. This makes for a very easy-to-maintain blade and a really smart looking knife.

A very nicely finished oval handle made from rosewood and maple completes this compelling picture. These knives are excellent carving knives but since they're clad and very thin, they're not great at lateral tasks like skinning large fish. You can bend the blade.

AS is a steel derived from Aogami 2, or Blue # 2, which has been augmented with the addition of more carbon, chromium, and tungsten. It is regarded as the best of the Hitachi Blue paper carbon steels with regard to both edge retention and its ability to be sharpened to an acute angle. The core steel is hardened to 63 HRC and clad with soft stainless alloy which adds strength and protects the knife from reacting with acids or moisture.

Then is a vegetable cutter of the highest order. The flat edge and extra finger clearance make it a great choice for users who prefer push cutting over a rocking style. The thin blade is made to push through the hardest ingredients without wedging or fracturing the produce. This is a knife that takes a very sharp edge and holds it for a long time. The blade profile is very flat with a small belly and radius right at the tip end for smaller rock-chopping tasks. The blade is mated to a nice rosewood oval handle with a pakka wood ferrule.

We are seeing more and more makers add this great alloy to their knife catalogs.

This is a classic santoku design. It is a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means three virtues or to solve three problems.

We like the name and image it conjures up! We have Harukaze knives made exclusively for CKTG by a well-regarded factory in Tosa, Japan. There are various types of steel and styles available in this multi-line range of cutlery.

Featured here is an example of their line made from VG1 stainless steel. It is an easy-to-sharpen stainless mono steel that is not as hard or brittle as some other stainless steels. Of course, this is a very easy steel to maintain in terms of corrosion and rust prevention since it's fully stainless.

We are so impressed with the overall fit and finish of these knives, given their very keen price. They have lovely rosewood and maple handles that are oval and fully ambidextrous. Please note that the handle is installed with a machi (the gap between the ferrule and the neck). This is not a mistake!

The grinds are really well done and the out-of-the-box edge is about average for this kind of knife. So a quick trip to the stones will reveal the true beast within!

We really like the profile of this very versatile slicer. It can easily be used as a short-height gyuto. And at the price, it represents one of the best values on the site.

Very sharp,easy to manipulate,and avery handsome knife. It does a great job on tomatoes and fresh mozzarella,two items that can be downright frustrating with a below-average knife. I was especially impressed by the short amount of time it took to get shipped.

This Hammered Damascus line is the knife of a hundred companies. I dont know if Sakai Takayuki finishes the knife off any different than Togiharu,Gekko,Yoshihiro,etc... but I had to give one a try and have to say that this knife is legit. Fit and finish are decent - barely crooked bolster but handle is a nice size and fit. Light yet doesn’t feel flimsy and damn sharp out the box. Bevel on mine is not 50/50 almost like a 60/40. The knife itself is a looker though the inclusion of "made in japan" under the kanji is a little corny. All these slight flaws don’t hinder the fact that this knife has been performing strong in a professional kitchen while getting a lot of use as a line knife and not being handled lightly. I haven’t sharpened it once,not even out the box and it is still cutting through almost anything with ease as long as I hone it every once and a while. Wouldn’t use for heavy prep or anything sloppy - handle can get a little slippery,and Im not saying it is taking down chicken bones but it was working fine on small pumpkins the other day. Overall,this isn’t some gift shop knife even though it is sold under many names and stories. I would recommend for any use - home,student,pro

We specified a kurouchi finish to these knives for the added protection it affords, as well as the great rustic look that so many people love.

The inner core of White #2 is covered with a layer of soft iron that adds lightness and strength to the blade. It is quite a stout blade for a bunka but it is still light and nimble in hand. These knives are so versatile they can cover almost all needs in the kitchen, from in-hand work to major prep sessions. They come with a lovely oval rosewood and black pakka handle which is perfect for right- and left-handed users.

The Harukaze name is derived from the Japanese word for “windy spring.”

Harukaze White #2 knives are constructed from high-carbon Shirogami #2 steel. This is a very popular alloy used for kitchen knives. It is favored for its great edge retention and ease of sharpening characteristics. The blade is made san-mai style with an outer cladding of a soft carbon steel. The iron is left with the forger’s scale on the blade for that classic rustic look. The cladding not only looks cool, but it also goes a long way in protecting the soft iron jigane. Daily maintenance is reduced significantly by the use of this kurouchi jigane.

This is a standard kakugata-style nakiri, which is one of the best knives for cutting vegetables. It is ground with a symmetrical 50/50 edge bevel. Blade height is about average for this length of knife, as is the weight. The knife comes with a well-finished oval rosewood and black pakka wood handle.

These knives represent some of the best value in our store and would make the perfect introduction to the world of Japanese kitchen cutlery.

Harukaze means ""windy spring"" in Japanese. We like the name and image it conjures up! We have Harukaze knives made exclusively for CKTG by a well-regarded factory in Tosa, Japan. We specified a kurouchi finish to these knives for the added protection it affords, as well as the great rustic look that so many people love.

The inner core of White #2 is covered with a layer of soft iron that adds lightness and strength to the blade. It is quite a stout blade for a santoku and its workhorse feel gives confidence and adds durability to the edge. These knives are so versatile they can cover almost all needs in the kitchen, from in-hand work to major prep sessions. They come with a lovely oval rosewood and black pakka handle, which is perfect for right- and left-handed users.

This knife is the go-to choice for detail work--trimming proteins, prepping herbs, and slicing citrus--where a full-sized gyuto would feel overkill. Whether you're in a professional kitchen or your home setup, this petty brings a clean, confident cut every time.

Crafted with SLD semi-stainless tool steel, the blade delivers excellent edge retention and toughness with less maintenance than traditional carbon steel. The refined grind, clean kasumi finish, and visible hamon line give the blade a serious, understated aesthetic: no gimmicks, just performance.

The dark octagonal handle is made from rich hardwood (rosewood or ebony, depending on batch) with a polished finish. It feels solid in the hand and looks as good as it performs. Light, responsive, and laser-sharp out of the box, this one is built for precision and control in tight spaces.

Care Tips:

Hand wash and dry immediately--no soaking

Use only on wood or soft plastic boards

Avoid bones, frozen foods, or hard rinds

Store in a saya or blade guard

Sharpen with quality whetstones to maintain the edge

The blade is forged from premium SG2 (R2) powdered stainless steel, offering an exceptional blend of sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. It features a sanmai construction, where a hard SG2 core is layered between softer stainless cladding for added durability and easier maintenance. With a hardness rating of approximately 62 to 64 HRC, it is built for precision work and long-lasting sharpness.

With an edge length of 244 mm and an overall length of 390 mm, this gyuto offers added reach for larger prep tasks without sacrificing control. The blade height of 53 mm and a spine thickness of 2 mm at the base provide a confident and balanced feel. Weighing just 184 grams (6.5 ounces), it remains lightweight and agile in hand. The octagonal ebony handle is both ergonomic and beautifully understated, providing a warm contrast to the polished blade.

To care for the knife, hand wash only with mild soap and warm water, and dry it immediately after use. Avoid soaking, as excessive moisture may lead to spotting. Use only wooden or plastic cutting boards and steer clear of hard surfaces like glass, stone, or metal. Sharpen with quality whetstones in the 1,000 to 6,000 grit range for best results. Store the knife in a sheath or knife block and avoid cutting bones or frozen items to preserve the fine edge.

But when we were offered this little beauty we thought it might be a nice addition to the store…and our customers' kitchen drawers or tool boxes.

The higo folder is made in Miki City by a very small shop that specializes in knives of this type. Higo is an abbreviation of higonokami, which is a type of folding knife that originated in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1896. The term ""higo no kami"" means ""Lord of Higo"" in Japanese, in honor of the Lord of the Kyushu area of Japan, where the knife originated. Higos are abbreviated from the original name because the actual higonokami word is a trademark owned by a Miki Knife Guild that has granted sole use to just one maker.

The higo knife has no locking system. Rather, it is a friction folder or ""penny knife."" These knives work with the friction of the swivel and the pressure of the user's thumb on its lever or chikiri. This arrangement prevents the knife from folding during use.

This is a great little higo that stands out due to the good looking speckled handle that adds some bling to the package. The handle is also printed with some nice kanji, which also appear on the blade face.

After learning his story and experiencing his exceptional knives, we knew they deserved a place in our collection. CKTG is proud to be the exclusive USA dealer for these unique blades.

Ishikawa-san's knives are crafted from White #2 carbon steel, layered with a soft iron cladding. Their rustic charm is immediately apparent, reflecting his focus on functionality over polished aesthetics. Unlike many blacksmiths who prioritize finish, Ishikawa-san emphasizes shape and sharpness, delivering tools designed for performance. At this price point, the handmade, one-man artistry behind these blades is a testament to their exceptional value.

One standout feature of Ishikawa-san's knives is the semi-S grind he employs, which creates a flat backside tailored for right-handed users. This thoughtful design enhances cutting performance and highlights his unique approach to knife-making.

To complete these rare blades, each knife is paired with a stunning octagonal handle, handcrafted by a small artisan in southern Japan. The handle features a beautiful burnt oak urushi finish, reminiscent of traditional wood-clad houses in the Japanese countryside, adding both functionality and elegance to these remarkable tools.

Discover the rare artistry and unmatched craftsmanship of Ishikawa-san’s knives – a treasure for any kitchen and a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese blacksmithing.

Each knife is made by hand so all measurements are approximations.

Now this process could end when its last practitioner, Michio Ishikawa, retires. He has no apprentice as of the time of this writing, so with him go the secrets and skills needed to make blades using the Nakaniida Proprietary process of forging.

We recently discovered this blacksmith through a good friend in Japan. After hearing the story and seeing his interview on Japanese TV, we decided to introduce his unique knives to our customers.

Not only is the 28-stage process one of a kind, but his use of a single bevel design in knives normally made with two edges places them in the very rare category. We hardly ever see a single-sided gyuto, so we just had to give this and its santoku sibling a place in our store.

There are some fundamental differences in cutting and sharpening styles that will be required in the use of single-bevel knives. The upside of single bevel knives is their built-in acute cutting edge. Being single-sided means that the inclusive edge angle is about 15 degrees, as opposed to around 30 degrees for a double edge. This enhances the cutting abilities, makes food release easier, and minimizes wedging. However, it does result in a blade that is restricted to right-handed users.

This gyuto is made with White #2, which receives a soft iron cladding. The rustic nature of his knives is very obvious and they are not the fit and finish kings that other blacksmiths produce. He places value on shape and sharpness more than on aesthetics. But at the price and considering the one-man handmade nature of these blades, that is a plus, not a negative.

To find such unusual knives made by a craftsman of his caliber and experience is a rare thing. We have added a very nice octagonal custom oak handle to further enhance the originality of the blade.

Each knife is made by hand so all measurements are approximations.

The blade is created using a technique known as the Nakaniida Process, which involves 28 steps and is unique in that the blade is hardened three times. This entire process is carried out by Mr. Ishikawa himself.

The blade sports a core of White #2 steel, which possesses great edge resilience and wear resistance. It sharpens up very well and can be treated to a high level of hardness. The hagane (inner core) is covered with a softer iron jigane (outer layer) in the san-mai style. This process leaves the inner core exposed along the spine. The cladding is left with its natural carbon finish on the upper blade road, while the lower road is given a satin appearance, which contrasts with and enhances the polished cutting edge. Both the core and cladding should be kept dry and acidic ingredients should be wiped off often during early use.

Of course, the unusual aspect of this knife is its single bevel grind. This is an interesting twist on a shape that is usually ground on both sides. The single bevel allows for a much more acute cutting edge angle, further enhancing the knife's ability to take on very hard ingredients without wedging or splitting the produce. As such, the knife is only useful to right-handed users.

We commissioned her to make these amazing prints to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

In Japan there are many gods in the Shinto religion and there is a special god of handtools called Kajiya Kojin. Yuuka san was inspired to make a block print depicting Kajiya Kojin with 3 heads & 6 hands. You will see many leaves at both sides. The tree is called â€œKatsuraâ€ which is a special tree existing in Japan and is a holy tree of God. Two white herons birds are flying which are considered messengers of God. There is a big stump of a tree in front of the God that Yuuka san noticed when touring the blacksmith shop at MIKI-SYO. Mr. Nagaike kindly took a short tour of his workshop, where he actually demonstrated how to flatten kogatanas for her to get inspiration.

Yuuka san made 24 prints in all and 21 of them were given to our blacksmith friends and distributors in Japan. We took #1 for our office. That leaves #2 and #3 that were are offering for sale. In the future, we may do a second run of them but this run is the first.

The hankotsu is a knife that falls into this category for many aspiring users.

These unusual knives are primarily designed to bone and process meat. They are built with stout, short blades that have a very pointed tip. An unusual aspect of the hankotsu is its heel design where the blade transforms straight into the handle or bolster. There is absolutely no knuckle clearance if the hankotsu is used on a cutting board, which makes the knife more useful for processing hanging meats or for boning chops or Frenching rib racks. They have really stiff blades with no flex at all, unlike a western boning knife. For safety reasons, hankotsu knives also have an edge that is not sharpened all the way to the handle.

This knife is a single bevel style and as such is made for left-handed users.

As is the case with all of the Kanehide TK knives, fit and finish of both blade and rosewood handle are quite amazing given its price point.

Foremost among those is its amazing value coupled with its outstanding levels of construction and fit and finish.

The blade is made from a proprietary semi-stainless steel which Kanehide calls TK steel. This very interesting alloy is a bit like stainless with a bit of carbon, so it takes and holds a nice edge while being really easy to sharpen. Meanwhile, as it is semi-stainless, the normal maintenance routine associated with high-carbon blades is reduced quite substantially. This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.The knife is a mono steel construction and the steel is hardened to 60-61 HRC.

Although Kanehide calls this a sujihiki, that name is usually associated with a double-bevel design. This knife is ground on one side only, so could be regarded as a yanagiba more than the normal sujihiki style slicer.

The blade has a lovely profile and the edge is well ground. Fit and finish are quite outstanding given its price point. So if you are looking for a versatile slicer that is easy to maintain and is easy on the pocket, you need look no further!

The sub-zero treating works to change retained austenite to martensite, and as a result, it is effective not only to enhance the hardness but also the wear resistance.

The result is a fully stainless knife that sharpens extremely well and cuts great. It features an octagonal handle made of oak with a burnt lacquer finish.

This knife was a special request for us and we think it's going to dominate the market for a good, thin, wa handled knife at a lower price point. The quality is too good to resist. Hitachi makes this steel for the razor industry and has a dominant share of the market worldwide and is nearly identical to AEB-L.

Kanehide was able to increase the hardness to HRC 60-61 through special heat treating. They also increased the wear resistance by using a cryogenic treatment with liquid nitrogen at -180 degrees C. The sub-zero treating works to change retained austenite to martensite, as a result, it is effective not only to enhance the hardness but also the wear resistance.

The result is a fully stainless knife that sharpens extremely well and cuts great. It features a nice oak wood handle in an octagonal shape with a burnt finish design. Give it a try and we think you'll be as delighted with this knife as we are.

They have been making blades for many different needs and uses with an emphasis on butchering, filleting, and other meat processing functions. Their products are very well made and use some of the top steels available, including the popular semi-stainless alloy, PS60. This steel is used in the manufacture of razor blades as well as other cutting tools. PS60 is almost identical to AEB-L and 13C26. Kanehide is able to increase the hardness to HRC 60-61 through special heat treating; they also increase the wear resistance by giving the blades a cryogenic treatment with liquid nitrogen at minus 180 degrees Celsius.

The Kanehide PS60 Wa Handled Gyuto knife is the result of a request we made to their blacksmith to make a wa handled laser version of their very popular PS60 mono steel gyuto. The result speaks for itself. We are amazed by the quality of this knife and its cutting abilities. It performs way outside its price range, offering both new and established chefs a robust, easy-to-maintain kitchen tool at a really attractive price.
