Santoku Knife - KYOKU Shogun Series

The Shogun Koi: Mastering the Art of Japanese Cutlery

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

KYOKU's unwavering passion for culinary creativity keeps them at the forefront of handcrafted cutlery, blending ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful non-stick performance. Introducing the Shogun Series, the apex of modern Japanese cutlery.

Manufactured with 67-layered stainless Damascus steel, the Shogun Series 7" Santoku knife is designed for maximum sharpness and safety. Featuring a gorgeous herringbone pattern on the base of the tang, the hollow-edge design ensures food does not stick to the blade, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

The Shogun Series is crafted from cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between Damascus steel, folded 33 times. This process delivers incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, allowing the ultra-fine edge to outlast the competition. Each blade is treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, ensuring unparalleled strength and performance.

Embodying the fusion of beauty and beast, the Shogun Series boasts an exclusive appearance accented by a hammer-beaten wave pattern that gives way to a traditional Damascus steel design. The ergonomic handle is artistically accented with an engraved mosaic pin, revealing the knife's luxurious identity. The full-tang construction further adds to the durability and balanced performance of these exceptional blades.
