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 solid choice for any kitchen. It’s sharp, durable, and handles a variety of tasks with ease. 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 happy with the performance of this knife. It’s sharp, well-made, and comfortable to use, even for longer cooking sessions. The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge. The handle is well-designed and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a reliable knife that’s worth the investment, even if it does need a bit of upkeep.
