This high-quality Kamagata knife model combines traditional Japanese design with modern functionality. A newly revised steel core, the matte polished surface, and the elegant wenge wood handle make the 69-layer Kamagata our new flagship.

With a hardness of 61HRC, the knife is slightly more flexible, offering high versatility in cutting tasks.
The traditional Japanese design, the high-quality 69 layers of Damascus steel, and the ergonomics of the European wooden handle make this knife so popular in Japan.

In Japanese cuisine, this Kamagata knife is also used for delicate carving work on vegetables and fruits to create artistic garnishes for dishes.

Usage:

• Use the Damascus knife for vegetables, meat, fish, and bread, never for bones or other extra-hard food items.
• The Damascus steel blade is rust-resistant, but it is important to clean the entire knife with water after use and then dry it thoroughly.
• You can then rub the blade with a maintenance oil to care for the blade and enjoy it for a long time.
• The knife has a very sharp edge. Please use a cutting board made of natural wood such as bamboo, cherry, or oak.

Care instructions:

• Over time, the sharpness of such a knife can decrease with frequent use. We recommend restoring the blade using a suitable sharpening stone.

Our knives are harder than normal knives:

• Never use Japanese knives for chopping or scraping. Due to their extreme hardness, the knives can break.
• For cutting frozen food, it is essential to use a special kitchen knife for frozen food, and not our knives.

Caution is advised:

• The knives have a very sharp blade. There is a risk of injury when touching the blade with your fingers.
• Do not hold in fire (heat). The hardness of the knife blade will be affected and rendered unusable.
• Do not wash in the dishwasher. The knife can be damaged.
• Please keep the knife out of reach of children.
• The handle is made of natural wood. Avoid prolonged soaking in water to prevent the handle from softening.
• Before using the knife, check the handle for firmness. If anything is loose, please do not use it.
