KIKUICHI

The KIKUICHI has a long and distinguished history. Although we have been producing superior cutlery for more than a hundred years, the origin of our company lies some seven hundred years ago. For most of our history, we manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a mark of their excellence. Today, our ancestor's swords are considered national treasures in Japan.

Our tradition of sword making begun so long ago it is something that the KIKUICHI is proud to carry on in the high standard of craftsmanship we apply to the cutlery we produce today.

Unlike ordinary stainless steel knives and scissors, the sharpness of our high-quality, handcrafted products is easily maintained.

KIKUICHI knives are two-sided knives.

Tsuchime (Hammered Series)

This is the top-of-the-line in Kikuichi's Western style stainless steel knives. The basic knife is a Warikomi Gold core clad with 16 layers of Damascus style folded steel. The top half of the knife is then hammered for both appearance and functionality. The appearance is very stiking and other manufacturer's are beginning to copy the technique. It also provides air pockets which creates a smoother draw when slicing and helps to keep food from sticking to the blade.

8'' Molybdenum High Carbon Stainless Steel w/water stone - KIKUICHI$222.50 $178.00Qty:
Features an 8" Molybdenum carbon stainless steel knife blade and 1000 grit water stone. The addition of Molybdenum to the steel alloy allows for a razor sharp edge, but be careful of chlorine bleach. Bleach will cause a slight discoloration (blue spots) on this type of steel. It will not affect the functionality of the knife; it just won't have that beautiful "Kikuichi" look.
