Kitakami 8″ Damascus Pattern Bread Knife パン切りナイフ
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.
The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.
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.

I appreciate the quality of this knife. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and seems built to last. The edge retention is decent, though not as long-lasting as I had hoped. The handle is comfortable to hold, with a good grip, but I think it could be improved with a slightly more contoured design to better fit the hand. The knife performs well in a variety of cutting tasks, making it a reliable tool in the kitchen. However, I do wish the blade maintained its sharpness a bit longer between sharpenings.
Kim F. (verified owner) –
I’ve been using this knife daily, and it’s held up remarkably well. It’s sharp, easy to handle, and a pleasure to use. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need to be sharpened regularly to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it can get a bit slippery if my hands are wet. Overall, it’s a reliable knife that’s become an essential tool in my kitchen.

This knife is just what I was looking for. It’s sharp and versatile, handling everything from meat to vegetables with ease. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require frequent sharpening to stay in top condition. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these minor drawbacks, it’s a great knife that’s well worth the investment.

Harold M. (verified owner) –
This knife performs beautifully. It’s sharp and sturdy, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use. I’ve used it for everything from chopping vegetables to slicing through thick cuts of meat, and it has handled each task with ease. The only downside is that the blade seems to lose its edge a bit faster than expected, so it requires regular honing to stay sharp. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that’s worth having in any kitchen, though it does require a bit of maintenance.
