DON'T MISS THIS

The Takaharu Kiritsuke is easily the most beautiful chef knife in the Aikido Steel collection. Beyond that, with its exquisite, defining VG-10 stainless steel blade, this knife can handle a variety of kitchen tasks, from chopping to slicing to filleting, with incredible ease and precision.

Every knife in the Takaharu Series is made from 33 layers of stainless steel folded and forged uniquely around a core of VG-10 steel. The resulting blade has a total of 67 layers of metal and is incredibly strong and resilient.

Even more notable is that every Takaharu Series handle we produce is completely unique. Each handle undergoes a distinct colorization process, which means the knife you receive will have a surprisingly unique color and pattern. Owners of our Takaharu knives will be able to proudly use a one-of-a-kind, professional-grade knife in their kitchens.

The Takaharu 8-inch Kiritsuke’s beautiful aesthetic, precision blade, and ergonomic design make it a must-have for every aspiring chef.

FEATURES


Professional Quality
Our blades are made of the highest quality stainless steel. 33 layers of stainless steel are folded and forged around a core of VG10 steel, resulting in a sharper, longer-lasting blade than other chef’s knives.

The Kiritsuke form factor of the blade is extremely popular amongst professional Japanese chefs.


Precision Cuts
Our 8-degree oblique V-shaped blades are made from a high-carbon VG10 stainless steel core.

With 1% carbon composition and a Rockwell Hardness rating of 59, the AIKIDO Takaharu blades are twice as hard as other knives in its class.


Easy to Clean
Made with stainless steel, cleaning any AIKIDO knife is as easy as wiping it gently with a wet sponge or cloth.


Ergonomically Designed
Each knife has been designed with the optimal center of gravity to ensure it is well-balanced in your hand.

The beautiful octagonal wooden handle ensures a comfortable and sturdy grip with every use. 

PRODUCT DETAILS

Blade: 8-degree V-shaped kiritsuke blade. Made with 33 layers of stainless steel, folded and forged around a high-carbon VG10 steel core. The blade core is composed of 1% carbon and rated 59 HRC on the Rockwell hardness scale.

Handle: Our unique colorization process means that every handle we produce is completely different. Each handle undergoes a special stabilization process during which the wood is filled to the core with colored resin. This process not only yields a unique pattern of colors, but it also provides better durability than traditional wood. Because high-quality stabilized wood absorbs very little water, it is less prone to warping and cracking.

Note: we cannot predict the color or pattern of the handle you will receive.

The handle is octagonal in shape.

Dimensions: 8.1 " x 1.8 "

Weight: 6.8 oz

I have been cooking professionally for about 15 years now. I have cooked on four continents and countless cities. I lived in Tokyo for three years and working in one of the busiest restaurants. I have spent tens of thousand of dollars on the nicest knives you can imagine.
These knives are fantastic. I purchased two during a Black Friday sale. I gave one away as a Christmas gift and kept the other one to use in my kitchen at home. I can honestly say I am shocked and amazed at the quality and craftsmanship. I have knives that I spent much more money on that I will now give away or sell.
I am not saying it’s the best knife I’ve ever used but I think at this price point, nothing else even comes close.
