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.

This knife has met all my expectations. It’s sharp, well-made, and makes cooking more efficient and enjoyable. The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge. The handle is well-designed and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a reliable knife that’s worth the investment, even if it does need a bit of upkeep.

I’m impressed with the quality of this knife. It’s sharp, easy to handle, and seems like it will last for a long time. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it could be a bit more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that’s become a staple in my kitchen.
