The immensely popular blacksmith Shiro Kamo has developed a new series in the carbon steel Aogami super and octagonal handles in walnut. The knife is reminiscent of the bestseller 'Black Dragon', but instead of aogami#2, this series has a slightly harder steel that keeps the sharpness better and is more rust-resistant. Around the core steel are 2 layers of stainless steel to further increase rust protection.

We call this knife Akuma which means devil. (HRC 64-65)

Shiro Kamo was the first blacksmiths that we introduced, it was back in 2008. Today his knives are still one of the most popular knives we sell and its easy to understand why. The looks and performance is top notch while the price is still low. Kamo san lives and works in Takefu and he is one of the founding members of TKV, Takefu Knife Village, a large factory that twenty or so blacksmith share. They do so for the exchange of ideas and knowledge, to lend a helping hand or simply for the good company of others.

Note: Each measurement can vary slightly. Its a hand made product.

Carbon steel is NOT stainless. Be sure to wipe off all moist directly after use to avoid rust.

Disclaimer: Japanese knives have thin edges with high hardness. This makes them much more fragile than traditional european knives. These blades should under no circumstances be subject to twisting, prising or cutting into hard objects. Such handling could easily cause damage to the edge, something that is not valid grounds for a warranty claim.
