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 has made a noticeable difference in my kitchen. It’s sharp, easy to handle, and a pleasure to use. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could benefit from a slightly more ergonomic design for better long-term use. Despite these minor issues, it’s a great knife that’s become an essential tool in my kitchen.
