This single blade is reminiscent of a smaller Yanagiba knife. In the early spring, many clam varieties, including short neck clams, hard clams, yellow clams, and egg cockles, are in season, providing you with a wide variety of textures and flavours to savour. Enjoying these delicacies, however, requires you to precisely remove their intestines, which is made easy with the Kaisaki knife. In addition to cleaning clams, the knife is ideal for peeling and carving vegetables and fruits and cleaning small fish like big-eye flatheads and sand borers. Its versatility turns the Kaisaki knife into a multifunctional companion for your kitchen.

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Traditional Kasumi polished finish. Kasumi roughly translated to “mist” or “cloud” and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge. This elegant finish is very common on traditional style Japanese blades.

Un tranchant incroyable

C'est mon premier couteau avec un biseau unique. Je suis bluffé ! Les carottes, pommes de terre, même énormes, sont tranchés sans le moindre effort. Et puis, il est magnifique !

This is my first Japanese knife and to be clear, I am no knife expert. This knife is very sharp and looks like it will stay that way for a long time. It is very lightweight, that surprised me a lot but it feels strong and solid in the hand. I prepare a lot of vegetables and it is a real pleasure to do it with this knife.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
