KYOKU Samurai Series - 7 Cleaver Knife - Japanese High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knives

KYOKU: Forging the Essence of Japanese Culinary Excellence

After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their unparalleled skills to the realm of cutlery, ushering in an unprecedented era of innovation. Inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths, Kyoku was born with a mission: to make high-end Japanese cutlery accessible to professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

Driven by a passion for culinary creativity, Kyoku remains at the forefront of handcrafted cutlery, offering a exceptional collection that seamlessly blends tradition and modern design.

Specially engineered for Asian cuisine enthusiasts, Kyoku's 7" Japanese-style cleaver knife is a true testament to the brand's commitment to excellence. Crafted with cryogenically treated high-carbon steel, this knife ensures maximum durability for heavy chopping and slicing tasks, making it a versatile and indispensable tool for handling fish, boneless meats, vegetables, fruits, and leafy greens.

The cryogenic treatment, performed using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, imbues Kyoku knives with an unparalleled balance of incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Sourcing only the finest components, Kyoku knives are carefully constructed following traditional sword-making practices, resulting in thinner, harder, and sharper blades than their western counterparts.

Designed to be a "Knife for Life," Kyoku's culinary tools are built to withstand the rigors of professional and home kitchens alike, offering uncompromising edge retention and versatile capabilities. The critically sharp edge, meticulously handcrafted by seasoned artisans to a mirror polish, exemplifies the brand's commitment to extraordinary hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.

Complementing the exceptional blade is the durable pakkawood handle, providing an ergonomic grip and a long-lasting, natural feel, further enhanced by the elegant mosaic pin. The full-tang construction, where the blade's metal extends through the handle, ensures the knife can withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing its first-rate handling and performance.

Kyoku's Samurai Series offers a diverse range of cutting-edge tools, including the 7" Vegetable Cleaver, 7" Nakiri Vegetable Knife, 8" Chef Knife, 10.5" Sushi Sashimi Knife, and the 5" Non-Serrated Steak Knife Set. Each product is backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring that Kyoku customers can enjoy the pinnacle of Japanese culinary craftsmanship for years to come.
