Our passion for culinary creativity drives us to the forefront of handcrafted cutlery.

The hammer-beaten herringbone pattern on the tang base not only showcases impeccable craftsmanship but also prevents food from sticking to the blade, ensuring practicality for everyday use.

STUNNING JAPANESE STEEL

The Kyoku Shogun Series boasts cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel enclosed between Damascus steel folded 33 times, making it the epitome of modern Japanese cutlery. With exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, the Shogun Series surpasses its competitors.

Each blade undergoes cryogenic treatment through the traditional Honbazuke method for outstanding hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge design prevents food from sticking to the blade, enhancing functionality.

The Kyoku custom knives are crafted using traditional sword-making techniques, resulting in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade compared to Western knives.

Uniquely designed for an unparalleled cooking experience, the knives blend modern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful nonstick performance. The exclusive appearance features a hammer-beaten wave pattern transitioning to a traditional Damascus steel design.

The ergonomic handle is embellished with an engraved mosaic pin, enhancing the knife's luxurious identity. Full-tang construction ensures durability, comfort, and balanced performance.

Manufactured with ultra-sharp VG-10 Japanese Damascus steel at HRC 58-60 hardness, the 6" utility knife offers unparalleled performance and edge retention. The meticulously crafted G10 handle is heat, moisture, and cold resistant with military-grade strength for lifelong sturdiness.

The ruthlessly sharp edge is handcrafted to a mirror polish at 8-12° double side using the traditional Honbazuke method. Nitrogen cooling enhances hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance of the blade.

Our masterpiece knife comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring a free exchange or return for life in case of defects.

Experience the ultimate blend of beauty and functionality with KYOKU's Shogun Koi collection.
