Introducing the Kakehashi 梯川 by Shimeru, a premium 8″ gyuto knife that redefines versatility and craftsmanship in your kitchen. Expertly designed for culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs alike, this knife combines the precision of a gyuto with the robust functionality of a cleaver, making it an essential tool for a wide range of culinary tasks.

The warm golden grain of the olivewood provides a touch of organic elegance, while the carefully carved profile ensures a secure grip that reduces fatigue, allowing for extended use without discomfort. This attention to detail in the handle’s design ensures you can manoeuvre the knife with precision and confidence, whether you are engaged in detailed work or high-volume food preparation.
Discover the unparalleled craftsmanship and functionality of the Kakehashi by Shimeru, a knife that beautifully bridges the gap between a gyuto and a cleaver.

This knife arrived in excellent condition, with the blade razor-sharp right out of the box. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of sharpness and ease of use. The handle feels sturdy and well-made, although I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. The blade does a great job with a variety of cutting tasks, but I found that it needs regular maintenance to keep its edge. Overall, it’s a dependable knife that performs well.

I’m very satisfied with this knife. It’s sharp right out of the box and has a nice weight to it, making it easy to control. 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.

This knife performs beautifully. It’s sharp and sturdy, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use. I’ve used it for everything from chopping vegetables to slicing through thick cuts of meat, and it has handled each task with ease. The only downside is that the blade seems to lose its edge a bit faster than expected, so it requires regular honing to stay sharp. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that’s worth having in any kitchen, though it does require a bit of maintenance.
