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

Lewis R. (verified owner) –
I’m really pleased with this knife. It’s sharp enough to make food prep significantly easier, cutting through everything from tough root vegetables to delicate herbs with minimal effort. The design is sleek, and the knife feels well-balanced in hand. However, after a few uses, I noticed some slight dulling of the blade, which means it requires regular sharpening. The handle is comfortable, but after extended use, I noticed some strain on my wrist. All in all, it’s a good knife that offers solid performance in the kitchen.

Huang K. (verified owner) –
I’m very satisfied with this knife. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and makes food prep much easier. The blade is precise and cuts through ingredients cleanly, though I noticed it does require regular sharpening to maintain its edge. The handle is well-designed and comfortable, though I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that performs well in the kitchen, even if it does need a bit of maintenance.
