Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Bread Knife パン切りナイフ
The Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Bread Knife combines striking design with professional-grade performance to create an essential tool for every discerning kitchen. From its rippling Damascus blade to its artfully crafted handle, every detail reflects refinement and strength.
67-Layer VG10 Damascus Excellence
At the core of the Tokachi lies a premium Japanese VG10 steel core, clad in 33 layers of Damascus steel on each side. This 67-layer construction, hardened to HRC 62, delivers exceptional edge retention and long-lasting sharpness. The finely serrated 15° edge glides through crusty loaves and delicate pastries alike, ensuring clean, effortless slices every time.
Resin and Hardwood Handle
The handle is a distinctive blend of shimmering resin and richly figured hardwood, creating a unique marbled pattern in every piece. Waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant and non-slip, it provides a firm yet comfortable grip, even during long baking sessions.
Elegant Craftsmanship and Lasting Performance
Ergonomically shaped in a modern oval profile, the handle balances perfectly with the blade’s weight, allowing smooth, controlled movements. Built to meet professional standards, the Tokachi is designed to retain its performance and beauty for years, making it the only bread knife you will ever need.
The handle is waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant, and non-slip; it confers a firm yet comfortable grip to make your cutting, dicing, slicing, chopping as effortless as possible.
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.

Sold OutGot this as a gift for my brother who's a total foodie. He called me raving about it. Said the weight is perfect and the VG10 steel holds an edge like nothing else. He's used it on everything from baguettes to brioche and says it's a massive upgrade from his old Wusthof bread knife. The presentation box was really nice too, made it feel special.
Way better than the generic bread knife that came with my set. The difference in control and clean cutting is night and day. Very happy customer.
It's a great bread knife, super sharp. I do wish it came in a 10 inch option though, sometimes the 8 inch feels a bit short for bigger artisan loaves. Still, it performs excellently.
The presentation was nice, came in a simple box but it was well protected. The knife itself is a work of art. Makes cutting bread for family dinners a pleasure, not a chore.
It's a decent knife. Does the job fine on bread, the serrations are good. I guess I was expecting more for the price? The handle feels a bit light compared to the blade, throws the balance off a little for me. It's not bad, just not as amazing as the reviews led me to believe. It's good, not great.
It's fine. Looks pretty. Cuts bread. I don't have any major complaints but I don't have any major praise either. It sits in my block and I use it when I need it. Does the job.
Massive upgrade from the cheap serrated knife I had in my block. This thing is a beast. Used it on a giant crusty loaf yesterday and it was effortless.
I've used this for a few weeks now on everything from baguettes to brioche. The serrations are perfect, they just glide. The edge is still just as sharp as day one. Very happy with this purchase.
Cant believe how good this is for the price. Looks way more expensive than it is. Cuts clean through sourdough crusts that used to destroy my old knife.
I was a bit hesitant because of the price but its totally worth it. The weight is balanced nicely and the VG10 steel seems to hold its edge forever. Cuts through tomato skins on sandwiches without squishing them.
So I bake a lot of sourdough and was using a cheap serrated knife that just tore the crust. This thing is a dream. The pattern on the blade is gorgeous and it just glides through the toughest crusts without squishing the loaf. Been using it for a month and its still razor sharp. My husband keeps stealing it to cut tomatoes, says its better than our chef's knife.
