Introducing the Manaka Hamono Kisuke Manaka KokuEnn 270mm Kiritsuke Gyuto "Black Smoke" - a truly one-of-a-kind, handcrafted masterpiece from a distinguished line of Japanese knifemakers.
Manaka Hamono, established in 1872, is a highly respected name in the world of Japanese knife-making. Located in Saitama, Japan, Kisuke Manaka represents the 5th generation of this illustrious lineage. Completely self-taught, Manaka-san has mastered the art of crafting knives by combining traditional techniques with his own unique style.
The exquisite Damascus pattern of this Kiritsuke Gyuto is hand-forged by Manaka-san himself, utilizing Aogami #2 and soft carbon steel folded multiple times. The core of the blade features the highly regarded Aogami #1 steel, ensuring outstanding performance and a razor-sharp edge.
The versatile Kiritsuke Gyuto is an all-purpose knife that can replace the Gyuto, making it the perfect tool for slicing meat, chiffonading herbs, and chopping vegetables.
