Shogun Series 7 Santoku Knife - Japanese VG10 Steel Core Forged Damascus Blade with Sheath & Case

From Kyoku, the brand behind the Shogun Koi, comes a new release that pays homage to the samurai tradition. After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their exceptional skills to the creation of culinary cutlery, ushering in an era of unprecedented innovation. Kyoku, inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths, has made it their mission to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks alike.

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

The Kyoku Shogun Series represents the apex of modern Japanese cutlery, crafted with cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between Damascus steel folded 33 times. This cutting-edge technology, combined with time-honored sword-making methods, results in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade than traditional western knives. The Honbazuke method used in the blade's production ensures incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance.

The Kyoku Shogun Series offers an unparalleled cooking experience, blending ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful non-stick performance. The exclusive appearance of the knife is further enhanced by a hammer-beaten wave pattern that gives way to a traditional Damascus steel design, accented by an engraved mosaic pin on the ergonomic handle.

In addition to the Shogun Series 7" Santoku knife, Kyoku's product line includes a range of other high-quality cutlery options, including a 3.5" Paring Knife, 6" Utility Chef Knife, 7" Boning Knife, 7" Nakiri Knife, 7" Vegetable Cleaver, and 8" Bread Knife. Each of these knives features the same exceptional craftsmanship and performance, with a full-tang construction and a lifetime warranty.

Whether you're a professional chef or a passionate home cook, the Kyoku Shogun Series and the broader Kyoku cutlery line offer an unparalleled culinary experience, blending the finest Japanese steel with timeless design and cutting-edge technology. Elevate your kitchen with the precision and craftsmanship of Kyoku.
