Shiro Kamo consistently produces knives with outstanding performance. The blades are thin and can easily be sharpened to razor sharpness. 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, giving every knife a unique and beautiful pattern known as Damascus steel.

This knife is made entirely by hand, is of the highest quality and has a classic Japanese design.

Note: This knife series has extremely thin edges made from very hard steel. They are therefore highly sensitive to stress. Take extra care when cutting to ensure that the edge does not encounter excessive resistance and become damaged.
