KYOKU Daimyo Series 8 Chef Knife + 7'' Nakiri Knife - Japanese 440C Stainless Steel - Rosewood Handle

Kyoku's Daimyo Series Knives: Forged in the Tradition of the Samurai

The Kyoku brand was born from a singular ambition: to make high-quality Japanese cutlery accessible to professional chefs and home cooks worldwide. Our knives are crafted to be an extension of your culinary expertise, infusing your cuisine with the skill and precision of the legendary samurai.

The roots of our unique products can be traced back to the decline of the samurai class in 1868. As the era of the sword came to an end, Japanese swordsmiths applied their unparalleled skills and craftsmanship to the creation of innovative cutlery. Kyoku was inspired by the honor, integrity, and mastery of these legendary bladesmiths, ensuring that our knives are not just tools, but a way of life.

At Kyoku, our passion for culinary creativity drives us to stay at the forefront of handcrafted cutlery. Just like you, we revel in the seamless slicing of sashimi, guided by the unwavering precision of the samurai. Our products are designed to be a natural extension of your kitchen craft, empowering you to infuse your cuisine with the artistry of the East.

The Kyoku Daimyo Series offers a diverse range of expertly crafted knives, each tailored to specific culinary tasks. The 4.5" Paring Knife, 5" Utility Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 7" Nakiri Knife, 8" Chef Knife, and 8" Carving Knife are all manufactured using modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. Forged from high-quality Japanese 440C stainless steel and paired with beautifully balanced rosewood handles, these knives deliver unparalleled performance, superior corrosion resistance, and exceptional edge retention.

Sharpened to a 13-15 degree angle, the blades in the Daimyo Series provide exceedingly precise cuts, slicing through even the toughest meats with negligible resistance. The steel's 59-60 HRC strength ensures unrivaled durability and cutting power, allowing you to tackle any culinary challenge with confidence.

The ergonomic design of these knives is a testament to their meticulous craftsmanship. The perfectly balanced shape and weight distribution prevent fatigue and cramps, even during extended use in professional settings. Each knife in the Daimyo Series also comes with a carefully constructed rosewood handle, complete with a signature mosaic pin that withstands cold, heat, corrosion, and moisture.

For your convenience and peace of mind, the Daimyo Series knives are accompanied by a protective sheath and gift-ready packaging. Moreover, Kyoku stands behind these exceptional products with a lifetime warranty and friendly 24/7 customer service, ensuring your satisfaction is always our top priority.
