Shinano 8″ Damascus Pattern Bread Knife パン切りナイフ
The Shinano 信濃川Damascus Pattern Stainless Steel Series Knives by Shimeru. Our eye-catching, unique handle designs are made from ergonomic blue 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 Shinano 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 Shinano 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’ve been using this knife regularly, and it’s held up well. It’s sharp, comfortable to hold, and easy to clean. 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.

I’ve been using this knife for a couple of months now, and it has consistently delivered clean, precise cuts. The balance of the knife is just right, making it feel natural in hand. The blade is sharp, though I noticed it requires more frequent sharpening than I expected. The craftsmanship is evident, but the handle could be slightly more comfortable for extended use. Despite this, it’s a reliable tool that has improved my cooking experience.

This knife is a solid performer. It’s sharp, well-made, and has a good weight to it, making it easy to control. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could benefit from a slightly more ergonomic design for better long-term use.
