Kagerou 8" Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
The Kagerou, named after the shimmering “heat haze” of midsummer, brings the grace of fine Japanese-inspired design to your own kitchen. Every detail of this 8-inch Kiritsuke is crafted to make you feel like a professional chef while you cook at home.
3-Layer AUS10 Steel Core
A high-performance AUS10 steel core is wrapped in three protective layers of stainless steel, combining superb hardness with lasting edge retention and corrosion resistance. Honed by hand to a mirror polish and sharpened to a precise 8–12° angle, the blade delivers scalpel-like precision that glides effortlessly through vegetables, meat, and fish.
Striking Hammered Finish
The dark, hand-hammered texture across the upper blade is as functional as it is beautiful. It breaks the surface tension between steel and ingredients so food releases cleanly, keeping every slice smooth and controlled.
Premium Olivewood Handle
Crafted from golden olivewood, the octagonal handle offers natural warmth and a subtle grain that makes each piece unique. Its ergonomic shaping and perfect balance give you a comfortable, secure grip for long prep sessions without fatigue.
Culinary Luxury, Every Day
Blending traditional hand-finishing with modern techniques, the Kagerou is built to exacting professional standards yet designed for the passionate home cook. It’s more than a kitchen knife—it’s a centerpiece of craftsmanship and a daily invitation to cook with confidence and artistry
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises—just razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15°—compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives—our blades allow for smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.

Sold OutIt's a decent knife. Does the job. I guess I was expecting to be more blown away for the price. It's sharp and all, but it doesn't feel that much different from my cheaper santoku in daily use.
Four stars because it's a bit heavier than I was expecting. Not a deal breaker, and I'm actually getting used to the weight now. Cuts like a dream.
Really nice knife overall, super sharp and looks beautiful. My only minor thing is the handle shape, it's a little more oval than I'm used to so it took a day or two to get comfortable with my grip. But now that I am, it's great. Still definitely recommend it, just a personal preference thing.
Been using this daily for about 3 weeks now. The edge retention is fantastic, haven't had to sharpen it yet. Makes prep work so much faster.
I use this knife every day. The shape is perfect for chopping and the tip is great for more detailed work. Cant believe how sharp it is for the price. I was using a cheap santoku from a big box store before and this is just a whole different world. It came really well packaged too, no worries about damage.
Ok so I was a little nervous buying a knife online but this thing is legit. The edge is insane, like it glides through tomatoes and onions without any pressure. I've been using it for a month now and it still feels brand new. Handle feels solid in my hand too. Definitely my new favorite knife in the kitchen.

Knife is sharp, but the edge dulls too fast.

The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge.
