Each blade is cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance while the hollow-edge design ensures nothing sticks to the blade. The transcendent design of each Kyoku custom knife results in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade than Western knives, and the ultramodern technology combined with ancient craftsmanship creates a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful nonstick performance. The handle is artistically accented with an engraved mosaic pin, revealing this knife’s luxurious identity. The metal blade extends the entire length of the handle to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing comfortable handling and balanced performance.
