What makes this Japanese all-purpose knife different from its western counterparts? The hand-honed blade is curved, thinner and made of harder steel. It’s also hand-hammered, which keeps food from annoyingly clinging to the blade. It has a true katana edge that will hold its sharpness much longer than other blades.

If you’ve been looking for a knife to make your favorite, it has to feel natural in your hand, light in weight, with a blade shaped to make slicing, chopping and rock-chopping effortless, even if you’re logging long hours in the kitchen. Really, truly, finally—we think we’ve found all of that here. Didn’t even mention how beautiful this knife is.
