  • Named Hikari after the Japanese word for "illumination," this masterfully crafted, lightweight chef's knife is distinguished by its stunning birch PakkaWood handle and "hornet's nest" pattern. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, the blade's micro serrations reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavor of the food. This chef's knife is a must-have for heavy-duty cutting tasks, and its broad blade is useful in transferring chopped items to the pot.

    • Named 2016's Kitchen Knife of the Year.
    • Dual-core stainless steel blades are clad on each side with 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create a "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
    • Exceedingly sharp cutting edges, hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle, are long-lasting and easy to maintain.
    • Polished bolster promotes a comfortable chef's grip.
    • Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture and bacteria and has a beautiful low-gloss finish.
    • Embossed endcap adds beauty and balance.
    • Handle offers a superb grip for both left- and right-handed users.
    • Handcrafted in Japan.
