Chef's knife

A unique knife from Shiro Kamo

This knife is hand-forged by Shiro Kamo, featuring a skillfully tapered spine and a convex grind. Kamo-san typically forges his blades thinner, but on this particular knife, he has retained more material to create a more robust hamaguri grind (convex geometry). Hand-forged craftsmanship at its finest!

The octagonal handle is made from stabilized and dyed maple wood.

Blade thickness at heel: 3.8 mm
Blade thickness at mid-spine: 1.7 mm
Blade height at heel: 54.3 mm
Edge length: 245 mm
Weight: 196 g

Shiro Kamo consistently produces knives with outstanding cutting performance. His blades are thin and can easily be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge. For this series, Shiro Kamo has used SG-2 stainless powder steel, hardened to 62–63 HRC.

This knife is entirely handmade, combining exceptional craftsmanship and premium quality with classic Japanese design.
