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

Kyoku was inspired by the honor and integrity of Japanese master bladesmiths, who applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation after the decline of the samurai in 1868. Our mission is to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide, driven by our passion for culinary creativity that keeps us on the cutting edge of handcrafted cutlery.

Specially designed for Asian-cuisine lovers, Kyoku's 7" Japanese-style cleaver knife is formulated with cryogenically treated high-carbon steel to ensure maximum durability for heavy chopping and slicing needs. This Japanese cleaver knife is an exceptional medium-duty knife that is highly versatile and best suited for fish, boneless meats, vegetables, fruits, and leafy greens.

Cryogenically treated with the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, Kyoku knives balance incredible hardness with flexibility and corrosion resistance. Sourcing superior components, these knives are carefully constructed with traditional sword-making practices to forge thinner, harder, and sharper blades than western counterparts. With versatile capabilities and incredible edge-retention, these ultra-durable Kyoku knives are ideal for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike.

The critically sharp edge is handcrafted by experienced artisans to a mirror polish and meticulously manufactured for extraordinary hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The dense pakkawood handle provides an ergonomic grip and a long-lasting natural feel, made still more beautiful by its elegant mosaic pin. The blade's metal extends through the handle to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing its first-rate handling and performance.

The Kyoku Samurai Series includes a 7" Vegetable Cleaver, a 7" Nakiri Vegetable Knife, an 8" Chef Knife, a 10.5" Sushi Sashimi Knife, and a 5" Non-Serrated Steak Knife Set. These knives have received exceptional customer reviews, with an average rating of 4.5 to 4.6 out of 5 stars.

Kyoku's products offer superior Japanese steel blades, pakkawood or wenge handles, mosaic pins on select models, full-tang construction, and Rockwell hardness of 56-58. They come with a lifetime warranty and free exchange or return for defective items, ensuring a lifetime of reliable performance.
