After the samurai declined in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation. Kyoku was inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths. Our mission: to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for pro chefs and home cooks worldwide. Our passion for culinary creativity keeps us on the cutting edge of handcrafted cutlery.

Manufactured with 67-layered stainless Damascus steel, the 6" kitchen utility knife is our most versatile kitchen knife. If you only get one kitchen knife, this should be it. The gorgeous, hammer-beaten herringbone pattern on the base of the tang not only shows off the stunning craftsmanship but also prevents food from sticking to the blade, making the kitchen utility knife practical for everyday use.

The Kyoku Shogun Series: powerfully prestigious, progressively potent. Made of cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between Damascus steel folded 33 times, the Shogun Series is the apex of modern Japanese cutlery, retaining its ultrafine edge and resisting corrosion to outlast the competition.

Each blade is cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge design ensures nothing sticks to the blade. Time-honored sword making methods make each Kyoku custom knife appear unique and result in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade than western knives. We blend ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful nonstick performance. Its exclusive appearance is 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 this knife's luxurious identity. The metal blade extends the entire length of the handle to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing comfortable handling and balanced performance.
