Kitakami 8″ Damascus Pattern Kiritsuke Knife 切り付け包丁
The Kitakami 北上川 Damascus Pattern Series Knives by Shimeru. Our eye-catching, unique handle designs are made from ergonomic green marble effect resin, which is chemically stabilised. Highly impervious to heat, cold and moisture with military-grade strength and life-long durability.
Masterfully forged from professional-grade High-Carbon Steel, the Kitakami Collection features individually forged kitchen knives that are built to last so that you never need another kitchen knife set again.
High-Carbon Steel, which was once the metal of choice of Japanese swordsmiths, has been exploding in popularity due to its added hardiness and sharpness, to such a degree that high-carbon steel has become the premier choice of many professional chefs.
Each Kitakami knife is carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection for razor-sharp cutting and extreme durability. The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.
The knives boast a 15° edge for superior cutting, as compared to a typical 20-25° edge found in most Western knives. You WILL feel the difference from the very first cut.

The knife is sharp, but the handle doesn’t feel secure.

I’ve been using this knife for a few weeks, and it’s quickly become my favorite. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and a joy to use. The blade is precise and cuts through ingredients cleanly, though I noticed it does require frequent honing to stay sharp. The handle is well-designed and comfortable, though I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that performs well in the kitchen, even if it does need a bit of maintenance.

This knife has a great feel to it. It’s well-balanced and sharp, making meal prep much easier and more enjoyable. The blade is precise and cuts through a variety of ingredients with ease, though I’ve noticed that it does require regular honing to keep its edge. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could be improved with a slightly more textured grip to prevent slipping. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that I’m happy to have in my kitchen.
