Kagerou 8″ Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
The Kagerou, named after the shimmering “heat haze” of midsummer, brings the grace of fine Japanese-inspired design to your own kitchen. Every detail of this 8-inch Kiritsuke is crafted to make you feel like a professional chef while you cook at home.
3-Layer AUS10 Steel Core
A high-performance AUS10 steel core is wrapped in three protective layers of stainless steel, combining superb hardness with lasting edge retention and corrosion resistance. Honed by hand to a mirror polish and sharpened to a precise 8–12° angle, the blade delivers scalpel-like precision that glides effortlessly through vegetables, meat, and fish.
Striking Hammered Finish
The dark, hand-hammered texture across the upper blade is as functional as it is beautiful. It breaks the surface tension between steel and ingredients so food releases cleanly, keeping every slice smooth and controlled.
Premium Olivewood Handle
Crafted from golden olivewood, the octagonal handle offers natural warmth and a subtle grain that makes each piece unique. Its ergonomic shaping and perfect balance give you a comfortable, secure grip for long prep sessions without fatigue.
Culinary Luxury, Every Day
Blending traditional hand-finishing with modern techniques, the Kagerou is built to exacting professional standards yet designed for the passionate home cook. It’s more than a kitchen knife—it’s a centerpiece of craftsmanship and a daily invitation to cook with confidence and artistry

This knife is a great all-rounder. It’s sharp enough to handle any task, and the design is simple yet effective. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require regular sharpening to stay in top condition. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these minor drawbacks, it’s a great knife that’s well worth the investment.

I’m impressed with how sharp this knife is. It’s made cooking more enjoyable and efficient, allowing me to prep ingredients quickly and easily. The design is sleek and modern, and the knife feels well-balanced in hand. However, I did notice that the blade tends to dull a bit quicker than I’d like, so it requires more frequent sharpening.

Overall, it’s a great knife that delivers good performance, even if it needs regular maintenance.
