Detail
Summary
Named after the Japanese word for "illumination," this masterfully crafted, lightweight knife is distinguished by its stunning birch PakkaWood handle and "hornet's nest" pattern. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, the blade has micro-serrations that reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavor of food. This Asian utility knife performs like a versatile chef's knife for cutting vegetables, crushing garlic, peeling ginger and slicing meat.
- Shares same award-winning construction as Hikari chef's knife.
- Dual-core stainless-steel blades are comprised of 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create a "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
- Exceptionally sharp cutting edge, hand sharpened to 16-degree angle, is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
- Polished bolster promotes comfortable grip.
- Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture and bacteria and has low-gloss finish.
- Handle offers superb grip for both left-handed and right-handed users.
