Shiro Kamo consistently produces knives with outstanding cutting performance. The blades are thin and can easily be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge.

For this series, Shiro Kamo has used stainless SG-2 powder steel, hardened to 62–63 HRC. The powder steel core is surrounded by multiple layers of softer steel, creating a unique and beautiful pattern on each blade, known as Damascus steel.

Each knife is crafted entirely by hand, combining exceptional quality with classic Japanese design.

Important: This knife series features extremely thin cutting edges made from very hard steel, making them particularly sensitive to stress and lateral forces. Take extra care when cutting and avoid forcing the blade through hard or resistant ingredients, as this may damage the delicate edge.
