From the brand NEW RELEASE - Shogun Koi 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. After the samurai declined in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation.

KYOKU Kitchen Knife Set with Block Shogun Series Samurai Series Daimyo Series Shogun Gin Series Knife Set

Painstakingly manufactured with 67-layered stainless Damascus steel, the 7" Nakiri knife is the ultimate vegetable knife. Regardless of what you want to do–slice, chop, mince, you name it—it gets the job done flawlessly and effortlessly. The gorgeous herringbone pattern on the base of the tang unveils the stunning craftsmanship and its luxurious identity.

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.
