Hikari 8″ Damascus Steel Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
Illuminate every slice with the Hikari 8″ Damascus Steel Kiritsuke Knife, an instrument of both art and performance for those who want to cook like a master chef at home. From its swirling Damascus patterns to the deep, lustrous wood of its handle, every detail speaks of elegance and precision.
67-Layer AUS10 Damascus Brilliance
At the heart of the Hikari is a core of premium AUS10 steel, encased in 67 layers of Damascus to create a blade of exceptional strength and striking beauty. Each ripple in the steel is unique, forming a mesmerizing pattern that draws the eye before the first cut is made. Hand-polished to a mirror finish and honed to a razor-sharp 8–12° edge, it delivers effortless, scalpel-like performance and maintains its keen edge through countless preparations.
Ebony Wood Handle
The handle’s jet-dark ebony wood provides a refined, natural elegance and a luxurious contrast to the luminous steel. Its smooth, fine-grained and perfectly balanced octagonal profile gives a secure, comfortable grip that invites confident, controlled movements, whether finely slicing vegetables or carving a centrepiece roast.
Effortless Cutting, Chef-Level Control
A subtle hammered finish near the spine reduces food adhesion, ensuring ingredients release cleanly and each motion flows smoothly. The perfect weight distribution gives you the agility and precision of professional cutlery, allowing every cut to feel both powerful and graceful.
A Statement of Culinary Luxury
The Hikari 8″ Damascus Steel Kiritsuke Knife is more than a kitchen tool, it is a centrepiece of modern craftsmanship and timeless artistry. Display it proudly and let it inspire bold, beautiful cooking that turns every meal into a masterpiece

This knife has made a noticeable difference in my kitchen. It’s sharp and well-balanced, making it a reliable tool for any task. The blade is great for everything from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it could be a bit more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that’s become a staple in my kitchen.

This knife is just what I was looking for. It’s sharp and versatile, handling everything from meat to vegetables with ease. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require frequent 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.
