Kikuichi chef knife

Japanese blades from a lineage that once made swords for the emperor's guard.

Kikuichi traces its lineage to swordsmiths serving the Japanese imperial guard in the 13th century; the family has made cutlery for over a century and a half. The chef knives carry that metallurgy into the kitchen.

Thin behind the edge, hard enough to hold it, light enough for a full service. A working knife with a serious pedigree.
