These fine knives are made from the super steel knowns as AS, or Aogami Super. AS is a great steel for making knives as it has the highest wear resistance and lowest toughness of the three Blue Paper steels. Edge holding is truly outstanding and it is also easy to sharpen. AS contains the highest amount of carbon and chromium of the three alloys, which not only increases its hardness but also gives it a slight advantage over the others in terms of corrosion resistance. This is further enhanced with the addition of a stainless steel cladding. The cladding is somewhat “softer” or more ductile which further protects the inner cutting core.

The Anryu AS Gyuto 210mm is an average length knife capable of taking on almost any ingredient. It is a compact blade that will find favor with most home users and professionals working in tighter environments. It features a nice length flat heel which transitions to a gentle curved belly. It should please users of all styles of cutting techniques.

It is also a great knife for use in restricted spaces or on small boards.

This is a first class knife! I spent a long time researching different chef knives and i wanted a good workhorse knife,and I found it. Being stainless clad makes it easy to keep clean without worrying about stains. It gets sharp,stays sharp,and responds well to a steel.

I highly recommend this knife and CKTG!

Happy cooking!

Excellent service by cktg,

received fairly quick even via Chicago and dodgy Aus customs.

the knife I got is not as perfectly finished and masakage sharp as the one in Shaun’s video.

it has some choil and spine rough bits I suppose it looks identical to Steve G.s review video knife.

Beautiful knife however - and am very happy with the handle fit and finish and the service.

Cheers

The honesuki is a Japanese version of a boning knife. It is quite different from a Western boning knife. This is mainly due to its triangular shape and the fact that it is a very stiff blade with very little flex. The honesuki works very well for deboning all kinds of proteins including poultry and typically has an asymmetrical edge. However, this knife is ground on both sides with a symmetrical 50/50 edge. Be warned that while it is a boning knife, it is not meant to cut through bones. It is made to cut through the joints of the bird. Due to its shape and height, the honesuki can also double up nicely as a utility or petty style of knife. Comes with a very nice oval rosewood and pakka wood handle.

I was looking for a blue #2 steel nakiri clad in stainless steel with a little heft. This is the knife. It wasn’t razor sharp OOTB. I gave it a 320,1200,8000 nagura stoning,polished with strop and the basics. It now pops hair off my arm. Take care of this baby. The edge can be fragile,pending on the angle and bevel you choose. I went to about 10 degrees each side with a nice visible edge. It’s the fine blue steel edge you must care for. The grinds are close to 50/50,just a tad more ground on the left side of the knife,but ground very sweetly. It is an extremely well made knife. Very fine craftsmanship on this puppy. The maker of this knife truly knows what they are doing. A true gem from the orient. An awesome knife and definitely a keeper! Thank You CKTG

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Bunka knife, a testament to their craft, is meticulously forged using Shirogami #2 high carbon steel, enhanced by a multilayered iron cladding. The hardened steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61-62 HRC, is particularly prized for its exceptional edge longevity and straightforward sharpening. Known as White #2, this steel is highly favored among blade aficionados. The exterior layer, referred to as the jigane, boasts a traditional kurouchi coating, imparting a distinctive rustic aesthetic. This coating gradually transitions into a beautifully layered, or suminagashi, blade road. While this knife is undeniably attractive, it is also reactive, necessitating careful cleaning and thorough drying both during and post-use to maintain its quality.

The bunka is a really versatile blade that is growing in popularity in the West with both professional and home chefs. The short length and tall blade combine to create a knife with very broad uses and appeal. They can be used to replace a short gyuto or santoku, especially when you favor push cutting and chopping techniques. Of course, the great-looking reverse tanto profile also offers a compelling aesthetic especially coupled to the finely crafted rosewood oval handle with black pakka wood ferrule.

||2.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||The Anryu family started making knives in the 1870s and helped establish the famous Takefu Knife Village. Katsushige Anryu is the fourth generation of this esteemed family of blacksmiths. He has just recently turned over the business to his long time apprentice Ikeda san while still working the hammer daily.

He makes this lovely gyuto from a multi-layer soft iron cladding over an inner core of White #2 high carbon steel. This is a reactive blade and will require care with cleaning and drying between uses. It is a great-looking item featuring a well-done kurouchi finish which transforms beautifully into the suminagashi multi-layer part of the blade road.

The blade is quite thick out of the handle but it then thins out nicely to the extremely fine tip. The choil area has the characteristic Anryu curve which makes for a very comfortable pinch grip. This is enhanced by the perfect balance point just forward of the heel. They are ground quite thin at the edge which adds to the outstanding cutting abilities of this well-made knife. The cutting edge profile is quite curved but will still appeal to most users whether employing rocking of push cutting styles.

We are really pleased to be able to offer these lovely knives to our customers. They are well made, handsome to behold, and an overall great value.

I don’t navigate well through computer land. So I couldn’t find a way to leave a description of my brief experience with the afore mentioned knife. Didn’t find the thingee to click on. So to explain what I did,cleaned off the dark grey coating,Bad move? Honed the hell out of it with a porcelain rod and cut up a crop of vegetables. Couldn’t be happier with the knife.Can’t imagine anyone wanting better. If you’re in touch with the fellow that made it,please tell him he has my respect. I think the knife looks much better without the charcoal coating. I polish it down after use,apply a bit of walnut or cocoanut oil and put it away in a slotted drawer. Need to make a good wooden sleeve for it. Sincerely,Bruce

||2.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||This Anryu Kurouchi Damascus blade features a rounded choil which makes for a very comfortable pinch grip area. It has a nicely curved profile which does not have much of a flat area. This is a great choice for push or rock cutting styles. The blade is a dream to sharpen to a razor like edge. It is coupled to a nicely finished oval rosewood hand with black pakka wood ferrule.

||2.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||The nakiri is becoming a very popular blade design in both professional and home kitchens. It has a very unique shape designed primarily as a vegetable cutter. Nakiri is Japanese for “cutting greens” and this blade does so with consummate ease. As it is a vegetable cutter, it is made thin to avoid wedging on harder ingredients.

There are two main styles of nakiri. The most popular is the Kakugata which is featured here. It has a very square looking blade with a flat profile. The Higashgata, or Kantogata, is less common and it features a rounded heel and curved cutting edge.

After 50 years, Anryu san has retired and given over his business to his longtime, trusted apprentice, Ikeda san.

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Santoku is constructed from Shirogami #2 high carbon steel with a multilayer soft iron cladding. The steel is hardened to 61-62 HRC. Shirogami #2 or White #2 is a high carbon steel that is liked for its high level of edge retention and relative ease of sharpening. The outer layer, or jigane, is finished with a rustic kurouchi coating. The kurouchi finish fades into a nice layered or suminagashi blade road. This is a good-looking knifeâ€”but it is reactive and will require care with cleaning and drying during and after use.

This hand-hammered santoku is thin at the edge and comes out of the box fairly sharp. A few strokes on a fine stone will reveal a razor-like edge. The choil and neck area are nicely finished, as is the basic but well-made oval rosewood handle.

There is a lot of knife here for the money. Lovely looks, a light, well-balanced feel, and excellent fit and finish sum up this high-value santoku. Check out this great performer. Youâ€™ll be glad you did.

You may find the occasional knife where the magnetism will hinder your ability to sharpen. So instead of permanently attaching the magnet under the table, we found a way that allows the user to quickly and easily activate and deactivate the magnet by raising and lowering it, no tools required. Use the magnetic knife sharpener when it's helpful, lower the magnet when it's not. Quick and simple. Just the way we like it.

Installing the Edge Pro Apex table magnet accessory on new machines is VERY simple. The housing press fits (tightly) under the table. For older models, you may have to replace the leg screws (which will be provided) to make room for the magnet.

This has quickly become my favorite knife. It cuts extremely fast,leaves a reasonable polish and feels great when cutting. I highly recommend it!

Great stone.

This was the third installment in the set with the bester 500 an 2k.

The stone feels soo smooth and leaves a nice shiny polish.

I would have to agree that this stone puts on a 8k like finish.

No soaking either,just wet it and get to work. great stone to finish on.

This is a quality stone. Hard and durable,the best feature about the Arayashima is the fact that it’s splash and go,and cuts fast and clean for a 6000grit.

Brought a fantastic finish and edge to my Moritaka kurouchi 270mm gyuto,Hattori HD and Konouke white #2 sujihiki with consistent and precise results.

No need to use force with this stone,it does all the work for you in a flash (provided you have decent sharpening skills).

It does exactly what its supposed to do,and brings the characteristics of an 8000grit stone to your knives too.

Thank you Arayashima,and thank you Mark for bringing this great product to the site.

Feels smooth,hard,gives good feedback and is splash-n-go. Love it!

Agree that soaking gets a better result then splash and go.

polish and cut with soaking is much faster with minimal effort.

splash and go you see how hard the stone actually is,not as great a polish without soaking though.

Overall a great 6k stone,more reaching into the 8k stone area,compared to king stones

This stone is fantastic. The feel and hardness are Awesome. It works up a nice mud and the finish can go from 6000 to 8000 depending on pressure and how much you work the mud. This and my Kitayama are,by far,my favorite stones.

By: Federico

Great stone for woodworking too.

I like it much better than other finishing stones I have tried.

it gives a smooth,sharp and durable edge,the feel is "organic" compared to most ceramic stones and it cuts fast but cleanly. works great for splash and go.

only "issue" so far is that it will stick a little if using a wide are on the back of a blade,but that’s normal for most fine stones that aren’t very soft.

someone said that is sticks to the DMT plate,I find it sticks to a Iwood plate also,but doesn’t stick at all to the Atoma plates.

I’ve sold off all my other fine stones,don’t need more than this one.

I was fortunate enough to pick up thirteen new natural stones. Naturals never come flat. I had a lot of work ahead of me to flatten the stones to usable condition. This plate is coarse,flat and made quick (relatively speaking) work of flatening my naturals. I ended up getting a DMT 220 use after the 140 to get a finer finish but it was putting a very slight groove along the face of the stone so I don’t even bother now. After the Atoma 140,I use a nagura to condition the surface and go straight to sharpening. Highly recommended for natural stones or badly dished artificials.

Can repair broken tips with good speed. A great tool...kind of coarse for lapping stones but works well.

||3.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||There are a number of dilemmas a sharpener must address in selecting gear to outfit their sharpening kit. The Atoma diamond sharpening plates are a compelling answer to a number of those problems. The Atoma 140 diamond plate is made of diamond abrasive embedded in a metal pad in a dot matrix pattern which is mounted to an aluminum base. The 140 grit Atoma plate may be used as a coarse grit sharpening stone. When used on blades, the Atoma 140 removes steel aggressively to affect repairs quickly. The 140 is perhaps most often used as a flattening plate to repair and maintain dished water stones. Because of the coarseness of the abrasive and the hardness of the diamond it will abrade most any stone on the market and do so quickly. While there are other diamond abrasive plates on the market, the Atoma is noted for being extremely long lasting and thanks to the space between the diamond abrasive dots, the Atoma plates are not prone to suctioning themselves to stones the way many diamond plates will. The Atoma 140 grit plate can be renewed with an available 140 grit replacement pad which adds to the value of these plates. Measures 210mm x 75mm.

When used to sharpen and repair knives, the Atoma suffers none of the headache of soaking water stones or needing to repair stones when they become dished. This makes the Atoma ideal for users on the go or who are looking for a minimalist kit.

WOW!! This this is great for reprofiling and is super fast. It might seem a bit spendy at first,but once you get it and use it some,you will know it was worth it.

Main advantage is that it does not dish. Probably a bit faster than the EP 120 stone.

Rating is lower because the diamonds are in metal that rusts. I must have stored the stone moist,because I found rust spots in between the diamonds after a few days.

Also,the finish of mine was not great. A ridge of metal at the top was elevated higher than the diamonds. No biggy,but I expected a bit better for this price.

I read a lot about the quality of Hand American (HA) products on Bladeforums. I’m so glad I tried them out. I applied 1 micron HA Diamond Spray to the Balsa Magnetic Pads for stropping and was wonderfully surprised with the results. It has clearly taken my stropping and edge refinement to the next level. Perhaps the ultimate level!

I think this is the perfect beginners strop for someone interested in serious knife sharpening. The balsa is stiff enough to prevent edge rounding and the surface can be loaded and reloaded with all sorts of stropping compounds. Fantastic value.

I have used a few types of strops and still prefer leather but this will still do the trick.

I have been using this pad for about 2 months. What I like about it is that does an effective job and it is not as easy to slice into as other stropping materials I have tried.

By: Charles

Austin,TX

I use a 10k stone followed by balsa wood with .5micron ken schwartz boron nitride,and balsa with .1 micron ks boron. The edge on both white and blue steel comes up to a 2 inch pinch distance paper edge cut with ease. Don’t think of balsa like the stuff from your model airplanes,this is hard balsa. Balsa ranges from 2.5 lbs/cu ft to 10 times heavier. This is almost like very soft pine,nothing like the balsa on kids toy airplanes where you can bite through it. Great stuff!

By: bob luhrs

I use two of them back to back. They stick right together,and I put .5 micron boron nitride and .1 on opposite sides. Just a couple of wipes on each side and knife is razor sharp. No need for support bases with these balsa strips they hold fine to cutting board or other surface if you stick 2 of them together. the minor bits of junk on them don’t affect the sharpening effects.

||0.350 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||This balsa strop pad has a magnetic back and can easily be used with the Richmond hone base. The idea behind balsa wood as a strop medium is that a balsa surface is soft but rigid. When you apply compound you are creating a custom honing surface. The compound particles embed and stay in place while you are working, and it’s easy to sand the surface clean and flat when the compound is spent. This provides a cheap and easy way to experiment with a variety of different honing compounds that you can mix and match with low cost and good results.

Outstanding value for such a good stone. Fast cutting and has great feedback.

I must admit that my sharpening skill is not equal to this stone. I started off with a bestor 1200 and this suhiro rica 5000. Yes,I do get good edges with this as a polishing stone. In the process I have given this stone divits and have not flattened it yet. Yes I need to flatten it but I am on a budget. This is a softer stone and it takes practice to be able to sharpen on it without cutting gouges in the stone. Learn your blade angles on harder stones. Lately,I have been much better at holding an angle. But I am fully willing to admit it is not the stones fault. It is my fault.

So,through experience I can confidently say that learning on cheaper lesser grit stones how to hold your knife and stroke it during sharpening is invaluable. Tread gently on polishing stones as they are easier to gouge. Cheers!

The bestor 1200 is a rock! It removes metal and is a very sturdy stone that does not wear away as much as the polishing stone that I have.

I am new to sharpening but the bestor 1200 seems like a winner as it is hard,double sided,and I can leave it in a soak without having to baby sit it before sharpening.

My only complaint is that I am new to sharpening and I think I remove too much metal with it. That is my fault while learning the technique. It is not the stones fault... it is mine.

I am of the opinion that I was recommended a very good stone for what it is. I just have to learn to use it better.

Sharpening is learning.

If I lost my stone collection,this would be the first stone I would buy. It’s really easy to use,cuts extremely fast,and has a nice smooth feel. It doesn’t need much soaking but if you leave it in water for a long time,it doesn’t make the stone feel mushy. I can get my knives sharp enough using only this stone,although I prefer to use finishing stones. I can’t think of a single fault with this stone.

My go-to intermediate stone. Good width even for long chef’s knives. An excellent cutter with decent feedback; it leaves a good "working edge" which can be further refined on higher grit stones. An excellent value!

First waterstone I have ever used so take my review for what it is,a rank novices opinion. However,coming from oilstones to this is a revelation. I also have a few diamond plates,both eze lap plates of 600 and 1200. I will say that the bester 1200 is a completely different animal than the eze 1200. The finish is much better. I do understand about feedback and I think this stone has great feedback. A really nice feel in use and easy to tell when you are off angle. The sound and the feel change instantly. I am very happyso far to have made the switch and with my choice of stones. By the way,I use my stones for woodworking tools. Plane blades and chisels and the like,carbon steel and the cutting action is fine on this steel.

||3.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||CCK is the biggest manufacturer of cleavers in the world. They know cleavers! So if you are looking for that bone crushing machine...here it is.

This cleaver from CCK is called the Bone Chopper for very good reason. It is perfect for hacking through bones or even whole carcasses. Whether you are breaking down a cow or a deer or processing a pile of bones for your next stock pot, you need a knife with a big thick blade that can take an edge yet is soft enough to resist chipping. The Bone Chopper is made from a carbon steel that will provide those attributes. Because it's carbon it does require careful cleaning and drying after every session.

The blade is attached to a wooden barrel-shaped handle that is functional rather than pretty. But that is what this knife is all about. Function. And that function is simple. To chop bones. Easily, efficiently, and cleanly.

PLEASE NOTE WE CAN'T DO FINISH SHARPENING ON THIS ONE.

**This cleaver DOES NOT fit the cleaver saya or the tiger wood cleaver stand. We recommend a felt protector.

If you don’t own a CCK cleaver you are missing out on one of the pillars of knifedom. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but this type of knife and this brand in particular are possibly used by more cooks and chefs around the world than any other.

Chan Chi Kee (CCK) is a kitchen knife and supply company located in Hong Kong. They supply the local and international market with a full range of kitchenware and cutlery. They manufacture all of their cutlery in-house using fine steels and traditional methods, honed over decades.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a perfect tool for professional and amateur chefs looking for a maintenance free Chinese style cutter. This is designed as a vegetable slicer. It is not a heavy duty cleaver that would be used to chop bones and hard items. The blade is quite thin for this type of knife and it makes for a very easy-to-use processor of ingredients.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a great introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese cleavers. You will be amazed at how efficient and controllable it is. Around the world, many cooks say a cleaver is their number one knife for the majority of their cutting, slicing, and chopping duties. Try one out and you might agree! Highly recommended. Our cleaver saya does NOT fit this knife--it's WAY too big.

For the price this cleaver is a amazing bargain. I recommend it to any person who enjoys using a vegetable cleaver for home or pro use. it has a thin blade,light wight,and decent stock edge I took it to work day of arrival and was and still am very happy with the knife. Now I understand why it has "a cult following among some knife forum members"

Oh yeah if you are a cleaver guy forget the small and get this one you will be glad you did.

I was searching all over for an authentic CarbonSteel Chinese Cleaver in Germany,all i could find was either StainlessSteel made in china or good but expensive japanese made Cleaver. My search ended,when i accidaently stumoled on Chefknivestogo.

A few Days after the Order,the Cleaver arrived at my Home in Germany.

It exactly like i wanted it,very,very thin Blade measuring 231x110mmm,After a few strikes on my 1000/3000 Combo Stone it achieved a pretty good edge,sharp enough to be cut newspaper. Edge Holding Capability is comparable with the famous german Herder Windmuehle Carbon Knives,good but not as good as Jap Hagane Steel.

Recently,i took it on the Stones again in Order to remove some of the rustprotecting Laquer and smoothed the Edges of the Spine. Now it has taken a nice Patina,which i prefer on a Carbon Knife.

This Knife has become on of my Favorites in my Selection among my traditional Japanese Knives.

Great Buy,takes a great Edge,retains it well,easy to sharpen,kick ass Profile => highly recommended !!

The knife was a great buy. I love the size and feel of the blade in my hand. It chops through everything with ease. I don’t use it on bones,but everything else glides through the cut.

Cons: The blade got a little bit of rust after the second wash. So now I wash the blade then put a light coat of olive oil to help keep it from rusting any further.

The large CCK slicer came in the box very sharp. After about ten minutes on a fine Norton bench stone it can slice completely across a sheet of newspaper with snagging. If you are not a pro I highly reccomend watching the many U tube videos on how to use a Chinese Cleaver. If you hold it forward of the handle it handles like a dream. Although it is very different I enjoy using it every bit as much as my Wusthof 10 inch chefs knife. I like the large size and enjoy using it over my Dexter= Russel Chinese cleaver. The CCK is a no none sense tool for cutting. A tool for doing lots of cutting.

I’ve recently acquired a 1303 (small slicer) and 1103 (large slicer),and have found the 1103 to be the superior tool. It weighs 50% more (15 vs 10 ounces,rounded),and performs at a much higher level. The 1303 may have a niche for smaller users (cooking together with gf) or finer cuts,but I find myself using the 1103 90% of the time,grinning uncontrollably all the while. I love them both,but recommend the large slicer if you must choose.

||3.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||Cleavers are in! At least they are in the minds of many chefs who swear by their fast and efficient ability to take on a huge variety of cutting, chopping, and slicing duties.

Of course they are the default chef knife in China and other Asian countries. As such they obviously are able to do everything the western or Japanese chef knife can do.

What is amazing is that despite their size and weight, they can process the smallest of ingredients with a deft action. This particular example is even more adept at these delicate tasks as it comes with a rather thin blade compared to other cleavers of this size. The blade also takes a really impressive edge.

Itâ€™s a carbon steel construction so rusting and corrosion can take place if you let them stay wet or dirty.

Once you get to use and appreciate the subtleties of the Chinese cleaver you might also become a proponent of the school that believes that this is the only knife a chef needs for the vast majority of his or her daily cutting requirements.

This cleaver does not fit the cleaver saya that we sell.

I picked up one of these years ago on a trip to Hong Kong. The edge wraps around all the way to the tip,giving you a longer edge than a standard cleaver,making it very useful for slicing cuts such as portioning fillets. Also useful for hanging style cuts as the forward edge is in a more comfortable position. Use it by making a cut drawing the blade towards you,flexing the wrist as you approach the tip.

||||||1||1||1||0||||||||Chinese Cleavers are the Asian version of the French chef knife. They are not used for chopping bone; they are slicers and are treated and used like a chef's knife. The Chinese have used the cleaver since the beginning of time and the Japanese combined it with their metallurgy and created some really nice cleavers of their own.

Chan Chi Kee (also known as CCK) is a big name in Chinese Cleavers. They also make various kitchen tools and utensils for professional and home cooks.

The Liâ€™l Rhino Cleaver gets its name from looking like the small horn on a rhinoceros. It is a perfect tool for chopping herbs and vegetables. It's also a good choice for breaking down primal cuts of meat. With its pointed tip and rounded front end, the Liâ€™l Rhino also loves to get between bones or remove skin.

The blade is made from carbon steel, so extra care is required to prevent rusting and corrosion. Keep it dry and clean, and you will not have problems. This is one fun knife that is also high in function and has great appeal. *Finish sharpening service is not available for this knife.

I grew up in a household that almost exclusively used this kind of knife in the kitchen,so I was ecstatic when I found this particular knife online. Kudos to this company for doing its research! The CCK small carbon steel cleaver is an unlovely knife,but it is a workhorse when it comes to vegetable prep. It is also offered at an awesome price here. The blade is thin,easy to sharpen,and even for my small hands the handle fits comfortably. I used to always use a chef’s knife when dicing onions and slicing tomatoes instead of my old $4 (now retired) Chinese vegetable cleaver which had a thicker blade,but this one glides through with no wedging. This knife has not let me down yet! If you’re looking for an entry-level Chinese cleaver for slicing and general vegetable prep that won’t break the bank but will introduce you to what this type of knife excels at,the CCK KF 1303 is for you. Just make sure you’re willing to deal with extra hassle that comes along with carbon steel knife maintenance.

The CCK KF 1303 is a very thin blade Chinese carbon steel chef’s knife. Because it is a carbon steel knife with laminated surface,it would not rust until the laminated surface is removed. I have sharpened my knife,giving it a 10o/15o compound edge. In doing so,the bevel has no lamination and will now easily taint/rust/patina. The knife can take on an edge. The original factory edge is not too bad either.

Unlike the Dexter-Russell Chinese chef’s knife,which is also a good knife,this CCK KF1303 is a very thin blade knife. As such it is very light and can slice food with very little resistance. Excellent for most food preparation works. On the other hand,it does not have the same toughness of the thicker blade Dexter knife. I would not recommend using this thin blade knife to cut very hard objects like bones or heavy duty works.

The CCK KF 1303 does not have good finish. I bought two of these. One has a very small crack (1mm) on the handle and the other one has a very small bent at the tip of the spine. Neither has any real impact on performance,but potential buyers should not expect a great finish knife.

This is my second purchase and thus second review. I like to add that I have switched from the Dexter-Russell Chinese Chef’s knife to this CCK KF1303 knife as my main knife. They are both good knives,but KF 1303 has two big advantages. First,KF1303 can make thin and precise cuts because it is a much thinner blade knife. Second,the knife can be easily sharpened (thinner blade) and it remains sharp longer for it is made from harder steel knife.

Buyers should be aware that this KF1303 is a carbon steel knife,so it can rust and it does require more care than a stainless steel knife. In addition,it is a thin blade knife,so it cannot work on heavy duty stuffs.

The knife is just great,especially for its ridiculous low price. It out-performs knives which are twice and three times of its price.

If you want to try a cleaver out to get a change from the standard chef/gyuto ... this is the one. There is a reason these things have a cult following. The finish on these are pretty poor as mentioned elsewhere. They look like they were hand made in a back room. With that said,for the money I doubt you could get better. The profile is fantastic,the steel is good solid performing Carbon in terms of sharpness,edge retention and ease of sharpening. And personally I prefer a nice patina over scuffed up stainless. If you can’t keep your knife clean and dry you should be shopping BB&B for kitchen aid knives. Just my two sense. I am always telling Mark to rehandle some of the cheaper knives and sell them for a little more. This is one of those knives. If it have a better finished handle I would spend 50-60$ for this knife. This gets 4 stars based solely on the price. I would give it 3 if priced higher,but for 30$ the rough finish is acceptable.

Thanks to my cleaver buddy Salar B. for purchasing this for me. I thought my small was a good size but it’s nothing to the Large CCK he has. Thanks again buddy.

This cleaver may be small when compared to their large cleaver,but at 8+ inches,it dwarfs my German meat cleaver. The balance and heft is perfect,though. It’s already an extension of my hand.

Let me add myself to the ’looks rustic’ crowd. It looks like a lawnmower blade thinned to cardstock proportions,but oh,is it ever sharp. Out of the box,it was as sharp as I’ve ever gotten a knife,though I will have to smooth the secondary bevel to make the knife really perform. That said,tomatoes,onions,rhubarb,carrots,celery,all fell to this new weapon today. It’s also very good for firm cheese and chocolate.

The one problem is that it practically takes two hands to release it from the magnetic knife strip,but I’ll get used to that.

I may be done with Stain resistant steel forever. Even with the rustic finish,I prefer this look to the shiny blades right next to it.

Thanks,Mark for providing this service so well. Once again I had my knife less than 72 hours after ordering,and I live 1000 miles away.

I doubt You could find a better veg cleaver for even twice the money. Yes,it’s rustic with its kurouchi-esq finish and raw wood handle,but this is a serious chunk of steel that will take a very keen edge. It’s thin,lite,and makes me want to make dishes that require a lot of fussy veg prep. It’s straight high carbon,and mine’s starting to patina,but this knife is all about performance,not looks. Did I mention that it’s a breeze to sharpen too? I’m only deducting a star for the unfinished handle.

I bought this knife for an experiment on the different styles of chef knife and cooking around the world. i have to say after trying the standard french knife,the gyuto,the santoku,and the american chef knife. this knife takes the cake. after getting this i have never worked faster and more accurate on the line. i love the weight and the length of the handle. it’s short but the way a knife is supposed to be held it’s perfect. sure handle is unfinished and the blade looks like someone took a steel train rail and turned it into a knife but that adds to the character. and personally who cares about what the knife looks like as long as it performs well. i love this knife and it is always welcome on the line at work

This knife is ok,if you really want a Chinese cleaver,buy other models,not this one,the blade is as thin as a piece of paper,which a real Chinese cleaver will never be like. I grew up in China,the real cleavers all have thin edge,but the back spine is usually pretty thick,I’d say at least 3 times thicker than the edge part,that gives the cleaver a very good feeling. Well the CCK is just too thin all over the blade which makes it too light to handel. Other than that,the knife is built with ok quality,the blade body is not flat,the edge is not straight,the handel is cheap,I have to say I’m really disappointed with it. It’s not even as good as the one I use to have,and I got it from a local blacksmith in a really small town where I grew up. I’d say that one is at least 3 times better and the price is 10 times cheaper.

I’ve been using the blade for about a week,and I love it. Light and comfortable,then and great for slicing and chopping.

There are two minor complaints. One is the decision to round out the edge. Though they justify this by saying the edge would otherwise catch on the cutting board,that’s really only a result of improper use. I think a flat edge is better on a cleaver,because when you’re chopping fast you don’t want the outer edges of the blade to leave ingredients uncut.

The second is in how well the edge holds. It does well for the value,but if you’re using the knife in a professional environment,heavy use will quickly dull the blade. If this is important to you,invest in a Japanese-made Chinese chef’s knife,though if you’re only using this at home I doubt you’ll have anything to complain about!

For 35 bucks though,these complaints are really minor...

This is an excellent knife that gets very sharp on the chosera outfitted edge pro that I bought along with it. The blade seems to be mostly happy with the screaming sharp 12 degree primary edge I put on it. However at 12 degrees,I find that the blade needs a run across the steel about every 45 min of service to keep it scary sharp. After putting a microbevel on the blade,I find that the edge stability is much better without any sacrifice in sharpness (reducing the need to steel). Minus one star for lacquered blade and a handle that still looks ugly even when drowned in mineral oil. On a final note,this blade is a great value well deserving of it’s cult status on the cutlery forums. If you want to watch vegetables melt before you,this knife is a great starting point.

This knife arrived today,so I have only a dinner’s worth of experience to review... But I’m crazy for this cleaver. The handle is "rustic" but flawless,in this case. The blade thin and sharp and made very short work of some very precise cuts of veggies. Being a vegetarian,I won’t test on "proteins" as the word is used in culinary circles. But this thing is super sharp,super easy to handle,unbelievably well priced for wat I have. It seems robust enough,too,though I won’t test it as a "lobster cracker" or some such thing. When I get my sharpening skills together I can review it from that side,too... but given that it’s an inexpensive carbon-steel cleaver,it promises to be one of the easier knives in my collection in this regard,too. Thanks!

Order arrived quickly and the order experience was excellent. I grew up in a rural area where functional wood handles and non stainless steel butcher and pocket knives were normal. I have a few that are 60 or more years old and still work fine. But they need to be kept relatively clean and dry when not in use. This cleaver is sharp and has easily cut everything I’ve used it for. I like the height that keeps fingers away from what is being cut and the shape that allows putting pressure on the front top. I like it for pizzas better than the rolling style cutters.

I didn’t really know what to expect when I ordered this knife. It was an impulse buy. It comes nicely sharpened and looks awesome hanging on my magnetic knife strip. So far I have used it to chop up vegetables and apples. It is comfortable to use and is a nice option to have in my knife collection.

5 stars,particularly for value. Not bad fit and finish out of the box. Haven’t had a chance to sharpen it yet but it is a great knife,fun to use,and will only get better once it sees the stone.

I originally bought this for my Taiwanese mom-in-law whose decreasing strength made her long ago retire her crude heavy chinese cleaver. I have a Chan Chi Kee #3 large cleaver that I love and use extensively,esp. when faced with large amounts of asian root vegetables. However I’ve found the #3 small cleaver is very well-balanced,agile,and makes short work of small veggies and herbs. AND it looks awfully cool. So,I’ve selfishly decided to keep the it for myself and maybe order another for mom-in-law or perhaps a Nakiri. While I’ve found Chan Chi Kees are extremely sharp right out-of-the-box,they can be sharpened to razor sharpness. And they have a big WOW factor for easily impressed foodies when you hang them on a magnetic strip next to your Japanese,German,French and other kitchen knives. Seriously though,if you’re toying with the idea of a chinese cleaver,they are awesome tools and Chan Chi Kees are the best.

love the knife for all the right reasons. good price,holds an edge wonderfully and sharpens easily,now i just have to get used to a chinese chef knife,but so far for prep alone i love the multi-tasking ability of the knife. not to mention the quality service of CKTG.

Awesome tool!! I am a chef and one of my coworkers recommended this cleaver and I got one from CKTG. It holds a really great edge,it’s great with vegetables,and it is so big you can use it as a board scraper. You will enjoy this cleaver for sure!

I must say it is a rough finish,but an outstanding production blade.It is thin esp. at the tip,I put a double blended shinoge line on the edge,very sharp.I also like the rocker on this cleaver some have too much,& I dont like the totally straight ones either.The gentle rocker of this vegitable cleaver puts alot of blade edge on the board making it good for chopping & forward push cuts as well.If you do not mind it’s rough looks & the little extra care of carbon,you cannot lose at this price.

I heard about this cleaver on Kitchen Knife Forums. I received it as a Christmas gift and was thrilled with the sharpness out of the box! The cleaver is rustic,and I wish I could have afforded the custom handle. I feel that it would have been worth the upgrade. However,the standard handle is sufficient. The cleaver is worthy of a custom handle! As stated earlier,it was sharp out of the box. Once it was put on the stones,it became extremely sharp and it is a fantastic knife!

For the forty dollars I spent on it,I really love this knife! I’ve purchased other Chinese cleaver,but I’ve never been able to find one with such a thin blade. It makes for an awesome slicer. The steel takes a pretty steep,refined edge and holds it well. After several nights of moderate to heavy home use,the blade still shaves the hair off my arm after a bit of stropping. The only issue I’ve had with it is chipping of the blade. After dicing some sweet potatoes with it (yea,probably a dumb idea to begin with - I almost went with a heftier knife,but decided to test the cck instead)there were several small chips all along the length of the edge. I sharpened it at 15 degrees per side,so that may have contributed to the problem. The blade was still shaving sharp except for the chipped areas,though!

Love this thing! was my first cleaver and i gotta say this thing takes a wicked edge! just a quick run on a 1k Arashiyama and a hone on an 8k Kitayama and it push cuts newspaper / printer paper and rips through veggies with a purpose! would recommend this knife to anyone.

OK,I don’t know anything about knives. When I retired,I decided to take a cooking class. She said the CCK 1303 was the nu plus ultra of Chinese Cleavers. Since I was a young man,I have put up with using dull knives and hating the process of trying to hack through vegetables and making a mess of every attempt. With this cleaver,not only is every cut clean and precise,it is just a joy to work with. If you are tired of stainless steel knives that don’t hold an edge,this is the vegetable cleaver for you! Buy one and see if I’m not right.

Bought this as an all-purpose knife; was raised in a chinese household,so I prefer the feel of this cleaver. As other people said,the blade is very thin,and it is carbon steel,so it does require some extra care. This knife is fantastic to use for veggies,and it’s easy and quick to sharpen. For the price,there’s no better bargain if you’re looking for this kind of knife. I highly recommend this knife.

Not a premium cleaver but a superior kitchen tool. All I did was strop it on leather to achieve an excellent edge. This cleaver/knife is becoming my new goto chef knife. Today it amazed me cutting a whole watermelon easier than any other knife I ever used. Why care about average looks?

i was disapointed with the sharpness. It works fine but dont expect effortless cutting. this knife is just as sharp as my victronix chef knife but nowhere near a higher quality knife. i really dont enjoy using it and use it to cut big things mainly like a block of butter or if i really need to beat up on something.

I cook supper almost every night,because I want to. It’s restorative and a time of contemplation. And it’s FUN. That in mind,this knife is FUN. How can you go wrong with a $40 knife that sharpens easily and cuts well? I did rehandle mine,knocking up the "star value."

Cleaver very sharp right out of the box. Hit it on a 10k just to be safe. Has become my go to veg knife. It is a wonderful intro cleaver. I am already planning buying another cleaver. My only complaint is the barrel handle. But what do you expect for 40 bucks. Wonderful knife. I would buy it again.

I’m sorry to be a downer,I have other knives from you I love but this one is a big disappointment. It chips way too easily. The edge on ours looks like a saw blade and we take very good care of it,no rust,but the edge is badly chipped. We have not used it as a cleaver...only to cut. Maybe I just got a bad one.

Cleaver is great,very thin behind the edge. The steel is on the reactive side of the spectrum. Take that with a grain of salt though as my only experience with carbon steel has been with old french carbon steel knives and they didn’t react as much. Speaking of those old knives,I love their look so I removed the lacquer on this knife with acetone and then sanded off the finish. Stained the knife brown with an apple cider vinegar soak followed by a rinse in hot water. Scrubbed the loose oxide off and now my knife looks like it is a hundred years old. I wouldn’t recommend doing that to your knife if it is to be your go to knife. Removing the lacquer will leave more of the taste of iron on reactive foods. It diminishes with wear,but it will always be there and it is much more noticeable with the lacquer off. Not a big deal on potatoes that you cook or on onions that have such a strong taste,but it is quite noticeable on something like an apple slice.

I purchased this knife about a year ago and have since upgraded to the 1103. This knife is an absolute laser. I’m pretty sure they use magic to create the steel,pretty good retention,and so mind bogglingly thin behind the edge that after sharpening you can conceivably split atoms. Edge is easily maintained on a honing steel. Kurouchi is smooth and not at all grabby. This is the ultimate cleaver if you want to try out that technique.

||2.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||This is a vegetable slicer.

This CCK Small cleaver was used and recommended in Christopher Kimball's Milk Street Magazine, and sales have gone way up as a result. A small Chinese chefâ€™s knife is called a Sangdao and is an excellent cleaver at an even greater price. It is made from carbon steel with a tough kurouchi finish. It requires extra care to keep from rusting, so it is vital to keep it clean and dry between uses.

The CCK Small Cleaver is our best-selling cleaver at CKTG. It is a wonderful introduction to the world of Chinese chef knives. The blade is relatively thin for a knife of this type and has a sharp edge. There is a very slight belly to the edge profile, which reduces the chance of the end sticking into the cutting board.

Sangdao are the perfect knives to quickly and precisely chop, julienne, and slice meats and vegetables, but they will not cut any bones...so please donâ€™t try!

This is a great choice for those wanting their first cleaver or chefs looking for a workhorse for vegetable prep.

If you donâ€™t own a CCK cleaver you are missing out on one of the pillars of knifedom. Thatâ€™s a bit of an exaggeration, but this type of knife and this brand in particular are possibly used by more cooks and chefs around the world than any other.

Chan Chi Kee (CCK) is a kitchen knife and supply company located in Hong Kong. They supply the local and international market with a full range of kitchenware and cutlery. They manufacture all of their cutlery in-house using fine steels and traditional methods, honed over decades.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a perfect tool for professional and amateur chefs looking for a maintenance free Chinese style cutter. This is designed as a vegetable slicer and chopper. It is not a heavy duty cleaver that would be used to chop bones and hard items. The blade is quite thin for this type of knife and it makes for a very easy to use processor of small to medium ingredients.

The CCK Small Stainless Cleaver is a great introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese cleavers. You will be amazed at how efficient and controllable it is. Around the world, many cooks say a cleaver is their number one knife for the majority of their cutting, slicing, and chopping duties. Try one out and you might agree! Highly recommended.

Great quality,no odor & a little bit goes a long way. FYI: I’m new to Japanese knives (bought 2 from here so far) & their maintenance,but the oil doesn’t feel sticky or watered down.

I only got my gyuto 2 weeks ago & the oil 1 week ago & it’s holding up nicely so far & it doesn’t feel like it would expire anytime soon.

Overall,I agree with the other reviews. It’s going to last a good,long time for me as a casual home cook.

I ordered this alongside my first carbon Japanese kitchen knife. The oil was packed well (no spills,which is impressive since there is no "freshness seal" such as is ubiquitous on most other products of this type. Exactly as described,this is pure Tsubaki oil,completely unscented and thinner than your typical mineral oil. Good for anything knife related,it is very effective for honing on oil stones and works well as a handle oil too. The primary use of this oil,however,is as a rust preventative. I really can’t comment on this aspect much,only time (and a few humid summers) will really tell.

In the end,the Tsubaki oil has proven indistinguishable from USP mineral oil in my use,aside from the slight difference in consistency,I am glad to have tried this product,but in the future,I will reserve this oil for occasional use until I can tell a difference.

||0.250 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||This is used to help prevent rusting on carbon steel knives and tools and swords. It's been used for centuries in Japan and works well. This bottle has a fine spray top so it's easy to use. Simply spritz the knife and rub it over the blade with a paper towel.

Virgin organic Camellia oil, commonly known as "tea seed oil", is a carrier vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Camellia oleifera evergreen plant. It is yellow in color with a light, nutty flavor. Camellia oil is the main cooking oil used in many Asian countries. It has fewer saturated fatty acids and more monounsaturated fatty acids than olive oil, has high levels of vitamin E and contains polyphenol antioxidants. Camellia oil is also used for cosmetic applications and is often used in soaps and creams. Because the oil is easily absorbed without a greasy feeling, it is often used to keep skin hydrated as well as condition and strengthen hair.

Okay,it’s just a Sharpie...but if you work in a kitchen you know Sharpies are like ciggies in prison! They’re cash money! ;-) And everyone will always try to swipe your pens and Sharpies,that’s just life in the kitchen. Well,no one I work with has the CKtG version! It’s like LoJack for your pens.

Highly recommended.

Excellent value. I have two,one for knife repair and one for flattening/ slurry.

It’s performed fantastically for tip repair. Cuts very quickly,with a decently even scratch pattern. By the same key,it brings up swarf instantly on a moderately hard stone.

Each plate did have one tiny flaw,a raised bit at some point along the edge. It’s not a dealbreaker (I filed it right off) but it will need to be addressed before flattening finer stones. For the price,I think it’s perfectly acceptable.

The stone itself is gritty,but it arrived in a severely warped state sadly (each side was ~2mm higher than the center in a U shape)

Just posting this review so people know that there is the chance that this diamond plate can arrive in an unusable state for stone flattening.

I would suggest paying the extra for a DMT or,the one up from that’s name escapes me for the moment. Especially if you live overseas like I do.

They also work well for chamfering the edges of your stones or for quick metal removal. We recommend splashing water on your plate and stone and then marking the stone with a pencil and rub them together to remove all the pencil marks. A quick 15 seconds before you start sharpening is all it takes to keep your stones flat and in optimal condition for sharpening.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||New||||||||||||||0||~~|^^|ck400grdiplf||item-1||solidtemplate||edproac||https://s.turbifycdn.com/aah/chefknivestogo/cktg-400-grit-diamond-plate-for-edge-pro-123.png||||||CKTG 400 Grit Diamond Plate for the Edge Pro||CKTG400EdgePro||specials > linecooks > sharpening-stones > edgepro > edproac > ||Resources > For Professionals > Sharpening Stones > Edge Pro > Edge Pro Accessories > ||9.950||9.950 ||||

Simply purchase this service along with the knife or knives you want us to sharpen and we'll sharpen them by hand using our typical progression of stones and strops. **Please note that the sharpening service is $15.95 per knife so if you want more than one knife sharpened, you need to order more than one service. Double bevel knives only. No serrated knives. This service does not include resetting bevels. We do not finish sharpen the CCK Butcher's Knife and Big & Li'l Rhino. It is too time-consuming.

If you have special instructions please let us know in the "Comments Box" and we'll try to accommodate your request.

Also please note that we will sharpen the knife evenly on both sides unless instructed otherwise. We will give priority to those of you who purchase this service and will attempt to ship your order within 1-2 business days. Usually, we do it the same day if you order early enough.

Super sweet saya! It fits my Richmond Artifex 240mm gyuto perfectly and the pin that holds the blade inside is a really nice touch. The wood on the saya comes sanded but unfinished,so don’t touch it with wet or oily hands or you’ll leave marks on it. I guess you could always stain/seal it so you don’t have to worry. Overall awesome saya!

He uses car and truck leaf springs as his steel of choice. This is not quite as crazy as it sounds because these car parts are made with some rather good high-carbon steel. Most leaf springs are made from 5160, which is an excellent blade of steel.

We asked him to make us some unusual shapes that resemble traditional knives, and this fun bunka-style blade is one of his responses. The blade runs approximately 180mm at the edge and has a curved belly starting just a couple of inches from the heel. Every blade is going to be slightly different in these dimensions.

Letâ€™s make no mistake here. These knives have pits, scratches, hammer marks and other cladding imperfections! Rustic is a word that definitely comes to mind when looking at them. But the other word that comes out when you experience them is SHARP! These knives have a fantastic edge that if not perfectly out of the box, gets there quickly with a few strokes on your favorite stone.

While the handle is also not perfect, it actually feels really nice in hand. A bit of sanding and some varnish or oil will take it to a very acceptable level. We think these knives are perfect for projects, new sharpeners, or anyone looking for a really low-cost cutter that has personality and uniqueness in spades. Watch the video below to see how they're made. Please remember these are made under crude conditions with used steel, so you should expect that they're rough and have imperfections that exceed most of our other knives. Expect dents, scratches, odd sizes, different handles, etc. If you're into great fit and finish or are overly particular, run away! If you want to try an excellent piece of living history and you're not uptight about a crude but excellent cutting tool, then you'll love it.

We started working with this fledgling Vietnamese company less than a year ago. Back then their first offerings were best described as project knives! But with our input and the blacksmith's willingness to listen and learn, their quality has improved immensely.

The kurouchi finish is now very smooth and long-lasting. The grinding is far more sophisticated. And the handle is a vast improvement over the originals. These are now very acceptable knives with surprisingly good edge geometry. We are still amazed at how they take an edge after sharpening.

As the name suggests, the blades are made from old automotive leaf springs which, themselves, are usually made from 5160 carbon steel. This steel is highly regarded in the knife industry and many leading blacksmiths use leaf springs for their custom blades.

This is the Naht family's first attempt at a gyuto and we are extremely pleased with the cutting performance. The heat treatment is also of a very respectable quality. Out of the box or with a quick trip to your stones, this knife will cut!

So if you are looking to enter the world of carbon steel knives or you want to get into sharpening, we highly recommend this fun and functional knife. Our customers are certainly responding very favorably for all the right reasons!

Honesuki knives are boning knives specifically designed for parting out the poultry. These blades are stiff and robust with pointed tips and a triangular profile. This design enables the user to get into the tightest places and strip the meat from the bone with a precision no other blade can achieve. It is a knife similar to the torigarasuki/garasuki.

The kurouchi finish on the blade is smooth and well-finished. And while the fit and finish are not stellar, the actual grinds of these low-cost blades are rather special. The heat treatment is also of very respectable quality. These basic blades will make a great intro knife for a new chef, a project knife for budding sharpeners, or home cooks looking for their first experience with carbon blades.

However, this is a Western-style Kiritsuke knife, so it is ground on both sides of the blade for ease of use and maintenance. Knives like this are sometimes referred to as a kiritsuke gyuto. This design is easier to use and sharpen than the traditional single-bevel kiritsuke. It also allows for an ambidextrous personality to the knife.

The Daovua interpretation of this style blade has a more pronounced belly than most other kiris, making it a good choice for push-and-pull-cutting and rocking techniques. However, the extended edge length also makes it a very workable slicer.

We believe these knives are perfect for new users, projects, budding sharpeners, or anyone looking for a really well-priced cutter with personality and uniqueness in spades.

We recently came across a young blacksmith who works with his family in Vietnam making knife and tool blades out of old car parts. This barefoot smith uses old car and truck leaf springs as his source material. This is not as crazy as it sounds as many top-flight blacksmiths dip into this deep well to make their highly prized blades. Unlike these guys, the Nhat family makes more down-to-earth creations that are more function than form.

The first knife we had him make for us was a nakiri. We sold out of the first shipment immediately, but they are now back in stock. It is important to remember that these knives are very basic in terms of fit and finish. They are certainly not beauty queens. But what they are is supremely capable cutters with an edge geometry that is surprisingly good. The heat treatment, likewise, is a very respectable quality. Out of the box or with a quick trip to your stones, this knife will cut!

It has a fairly curved belly for a nakiri, which usually are quite flat. The blade is average in length at about 175mm and is quite tall at 60mm. The kurouchi finish is quite flat and adds to the rustic nature of this fun and very functional knife.

They bring a fresh dimension to the more standard offerings and get us all looking in a new way at what a good knife is, and should be. Whether itâ€™s in terms of construction, materials used, shapes, or grinds employed, or as simple as offerings at unusual prices, we just love finding those who operate outside of the box.

We came across a charming, young, bare-footed blacksmith from Vietnam who was not only yearning to offer us his unusual knives but also to try to make use of our experience in making some to our specifications. This was a chance not to be missed. Following some interesting first attempts, we are now seeing the fruits and rewards of this partnership.

These are pretty basic blades that will make a great intro knife for a new chef, a project knife for budding sharpeners, or home cooks looking for their first experience with carbon blades. But while the fit and finish are not stellar, the actual grinds of these low-cost blades are rather special. The heat treatment is also of a very respectable quality. These knives are sharp and they will cut! Some of them might need a touch on your favorite stone, but a few passes and you will have a razor of a knife on your hands.

Just watching the video below should be enough to get you intrigued about this knife and its maker. We originally purchased a handful of knives from him to give our forum members a chance to try them. Well, the response was overwhelmingly positiveâ€¦in the main! So we are having him make more for us using our membersâ€™ input to improve the product.

The knives do not possess the highest level of fit and finish. They are not made from exotic materials. And they are as much a curio as a desirable kitchen knife. But what they do possess is a character and an ability to cut that is as good as many knives we sell.

The blades themselves are fashioned from old leaf springs. These auto cast-offs are actually a great source of knife steel, usually being made from 5160 steel. In fact, many highly regarded US custom knife makers use this steel source for their expensive creations. The edge profile is all belly. There is not a flat spot to be seen! But the blade is super thin and ground really well. With a height of 90mm and an edge length of about 210mm, it resembles a classic Chinese cleaver ratio.

Putting aside the less-than-perfect finish, one thing everyone agrees on is their cutting ability. These blades are sharp and take an incredible edge. For someone looking for a unique version of a cleaver, a fun project knife, or a sharpening practice knife, the Daovua is a perfect and high-value choice. Please remember these are made under crude conditions with used steel so you should expect that they're rough and have imperfections that exceed most of our other knives. Expect dents, scratches odd sizes, different handles, etc. If you're into great fit and finish or are overly particular run away!

Around these parts, we know that one of the best steels to recycle for kitchen knife use is that found in automotive leaf springs. These auto cast-offs are usually made from 5160 steel, which is a wonderful alloy for many knife blade applications. In fact, several highly regarded custom knife makers use this steel source for their (sometimes) expensive creations. These knives are carbon steel so you need to keep them dry after using and washing or they will rust.

We discovered Daovua, a Vietnamese company, just over a year ago. And while their first blades could best be described as project knives, input from our customers and us, and the blacksmith's willingness to listen and learn, has resulted in a huge improvement in quality.

The kurouchi finish is very smooth and long-lasting. The grinding is really sophisticated. And the handle is really well made and quite lovely to hold. These are very acceptable knives with surprisingly good edge geometry. We are still amazed at how they take an edge after sharpening.

This is the first steak knife that they have made for us and you can color us impressed!

So when you have your friends over for a steak dinner next time, surprise them with these works of art that have come from nothing more than a junked old car and a few pieces of wood!

While not quite a great oak, the Daovua knife company has grown—from a fledgling enterprise in Vietnam making knife and tool blades out of old car parts, to a thriving business that has spread into making some really great kitchen utensils at super attractive prices.

Their blades are fashioned from recycled leaf springs taken from old cars and trucks. This is not as bizarre as it sounds as many top-flight blacksmiths dip into this widely available source to make their highly prized blades. But unlike these fancy and often expensive works of art, the Nhat family makes more down-to-earth creations that are more function than form. Make no mistake, these knives look like they came out of a charcoal fire with hammer marks, scratches, pitting and other cladding flaws. If you like good fit and finish don't buy this.

This knife is a classic nakiri in shape and profile but with a much taller stance. It is almost a cross between a cleaver and nakiri except that it is very thin and made to cut vegetables of all kinds with ease. One outstanding attribute of these blades is how they take an incredibly sharp edge.

So for someone seeking a unique version of a nakiri, the Daovua Tall Nakiri is a perfect and high-value choice. Please remember these are made under fairly rough conditions with recycled steel, so you should expect that they will have imperfections that you will not see in our other knives. But this should not dissuade anyone looking for a low-priced kitchen knife that is exceedingly sharp and rather unique.

These discarded automotive parts are a very good source of knife steel as they are usually made from 5160 carbon steel.

A young barefoot bladesmith we discovered working in Vietnam uses this interesting source to make some very funky and fun blades for us. And our customers are full of praise for many of their attributes. But letâ€™s get this out of the wayâ€”one of these attributes is not fit and finish! They are rough and ready with an emphasis on rough. These are basic blades that will make a great project knife for budding sharpeners or new chefs looking for something to play with. But while the F & F leaves room for improvement the actual grinds of these budget blades are rather special. These knives are sharp and they will cut! Some of them might need a touch on your favorite stone, but a few passes and you will have a razor of a knife on your hands.

The profile of this tall petty is as rounded as we've seen, so it will resonate with the rockers out there. It is a monster at chopping herbs and other small ingredients. Like the blade, the handle is not the best in the industry but with a bit of sanding and maybe some varnish and you will have a grip that is easy and secure in your hands.

So if you seek a fun project knife or a cheap and cheerful small ingredient chopper, the Daovua might just be all you need. Plus you get to tell a great story about it and its makers!

Just one look at the blade. One listen to the story behind it. Any knife loving collector will find it hard to resist!

For over a year we have been buying knives from a company in Vietnam that we discovered by pure chance. We started off with a very simple and very rough santoku. But during that time we have seen a huge improvement in the knives they send us and an ever-increasing diversity to those knives in terms of styles and profiles.

Enter the Kiri Cleaver! This unique blade is basically a kiritsuke-tipped cleaver. It has a fairly substantial curve to the edge, making it a rockerâ€™s dream. But the tanto tip makes it a better choice for more delicate slicing and food prep. Also, the reverse angle tip means there is a lower spine-to-edge ratio. Less spine, less weight. In this case we think it represents almost a 2oz saving over a regular cleaver of similar dimensions! (Please note that all measurements are approximate.)

The blades themselves are fashioned from old leaf springs. These auto cast-offs are a great source of knife steel, usually made from 5160 steel. A well-finished and good-looking octagonal handle finishes off this unusual but efficient cutting tool.

A culmination of his culinary background and knack for design, this knife offers peak performance, showcasing a blend of traditional and modern elements.

MagnaCut is a proprietary steel type developed by Crucible Industries in collaboration with knifemaker and metallurgist Larrin Thomas. It was introduced to the market in 2021.

MagnaCut was designed to balance three primary qualities of knife steels: corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. Traditionally, increasing one of these qualities meant decreasing at least one of the others, but MagnaCut aims to offer high levels in all three categories.

The design details, like the slightly straighter spine that raises the tip creating a more rounded edge from the mid-point, contribute to its versatility. It's perfect for a variety of cutting styles, including the push cutting technique thanks to a flat area near the heel.

Gabe makes knives that are not just functional tools, but unique pieces of craftsmanship, capturing the essence of a true artisan.

His father is the great Keijiro Doi, one of the knife world's true legends. Itsuo Doi worked alongside his father for almost 50 years producing the highest quality blades for chefs and collectors worldwide. Keijiro Doi was acclaimed for perfecting a very difficult low-temperature forging technique known as eyakidoshii and was a pioneer of forging Ao-ko No.2 (Blue Steel), which was previously thought to be an impossible task.

The medium-length gyuto featured here is constructed from Itsuo-san’s favorite steel, Aogami #2, which he hardens to 62+ HRC. The jigane is made using a soft iron applied in the san-mai style. Of course, as it is carbon steel, this knife is reactive and will need careful maintenance to prevent rusting. The exposed edge steel receives a beautiful high polish which contrasts well with the outer cladding’s satin finish.

This mid-sized 218mm knife has a slightly tall blade height. It is quite stout at the spine and very stiff at the tip. It boasts a symmetrical 50/50 edge and a really well-formed profile, suitable for both push and rocking cutters.

Following in the footsteps of such a master is a hard task, yet the blades coming from this respected blacksmith shop show all of the remarkable attributes of those of his father.

Until now, we have only carried knives made with single bevels, whether from father or son. So we are very excited to be able to offer the first double bevel gyuto built to the high standards of the Doi name.

One look at this knife and you know you are seeing something very special. We asked for a very classic and thin chef knife profile and Doi-san delivered in spades! The blade is long and slender, and so elegant. It is made from his favorite steel, Aogami #2, which he hardens to 62+ HRC. The outer cladding is a soft iron that is applied in the san-mai style. This knife is reactive and will need care in maintenance to prevent corroding. The inner core is given a classic Doi polish while the outer cladding receives a truly beautiful satin finish. Adding to the fine looks is some lovely hand-engraved Kanji. The knife is simply a thing of beauty.

We believe these are going to very popular around CKTG and at the relatively affordable price, are going to fly off the shelves! Very highly recommended.

takes a bit of practice to avoid nicking and slicing the tapes. With practice,without skipping grades,each strip is good for at least 35 inches of knife. They appear worn quickly but will keep polishing fairly well even when grey and cut up. Most of the wear is in the center as most knives have a convex curve.

I bought the Edge Pro Apex 1 kit about a month ago and I am delighted with my new little friend. The edge pro system gives you the precise repeatable sharpening motion that you need to sharpen almost anything. I bought the Apex 1 because I was skeptical and wanted to start with the basic model and I also wanted the freedom to buy just the sharpening stones I actually need. I am very happy with the results ☺ If you need a sharp knife like I do then the Edge Pro Apex is for perfect for you.

Bought the basic model and the two extra stones to avoid paying for the ceramic and all the extra stuff I dont want. It came out cheaper. Shipped and arrive pretty fast also. I recommend getting an angle cube just to make sure your angle is right. Its not the products fault,the built in angles do not work for all products. No product is capable of delivering that kind of accuracy. This product and site is good.

This is a good start,but 2 things you are desperately going to need. One is the CKTG custom made drill stop thingy,it is a must have at 4.00 dollars. You will also need either a lapping stone,or the edge pro stone leveling kit,you can’t sharpen more than a couple knives before your stones will dish out and deform. This is a real pain,the leveling kit is about 50 bucks. I bought this kit with the drill stop and the 1k stone,I was getting along great but had to wait for the leveling kit to ship from edge pro. GREAT system though.

||4.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||Edge Pro is a leading maker of quality knife sharpening supplies and we are proud to offer their products at CKTG. The Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening System is a highly portable unit which we especially recommend for home users and those chefs on the go.

The Apex Model Edge Pro is a patented system that will sharpen any size or shape blade (up to 3 ½" wide), including serrated knives. Knives can be sharpened at exactly the same angle every time, making re-sharpening so fast you will never work with a dull blade again. The water stones in this basic kit have been custom formulated to free you from messy, gummed-up oil stones. They last a long time and are inexpensive to replace. The Apex will remove far less metal than electric sharpeners or grinders, eliminating wavy edges and adding to the life and performance of your knives. If you have ever wanted to put a great edge on a knife without having to spend the time practicing free hand knife sharpening then the Edge Pro Apex system is for you. We highly recommend these tools! The Edge Pro Apex 1 sharpening set includes:

I was disappointed that the base was made of plastic (albeit high-quality Nylon). Regardless,the system works very well...my knives are sharp! Too bad it is so expensive.

I was never very good with freehand sharpening/ polishing. So I sucked it up and bought this system. I say sucked it up but how much would it cost to buy five stones and a ceramic rod? Not that big a difference. Granted those stones are bigger and will last longer but given the learning curve and the time saved,this seems like a good trade off for me. There are limitations-the depth of the blade. I have a cleaver that is too big but if I take the guide off and use a custom cut block back there I should be fine. Also hawksbill knives--but I don’t have any. I should be able to do scimitar shaped blades in a much more controlled manner than freehand. Overall I am very happy with this system.

Great product! Handles tanto’s,recurves,serrated,little,big knives and more! Extremely well made! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to sharpen several knives to a perfect edge. If you are only using it for 1 or 2 knives... it may be a waste of money. If you are using this for hunting/fishing/camping/and kitchen... then you will not find a better system out there!

||5.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||We are big fans of the Edge Pro Apex sharpening system. This handy tool will allow a novice to put razor sharp edges on his or her knives in no time. But this is not a system just for novices...it is used industry wide by chefs and line cooks who need a quick repeatable sharpening regime that is compact to carry and easy to set up.

The Apex removes nicks and dings without distorting the knife edge. It creates no heat, preserving the temper of your knives. It sets up in seconds on any smooth surface. No power required and comes with a convenient carrying case. It requires no maintenance other than routine cleaning. The kit #3 includes 5 water stones covering the gamut from course to ultra fine. The package also comes with those small items needed to complete your sharpening tasks like a water bottle, micro fibre towel and a 1200 grit ceramic hone.

Though an Edge Pro edge will remain sharp much longer than a standard edge, even Edge Pro'd knives will become dull with use. Use the supplied Ceramic Sharpening Hone in between sharpening to rejuvenate your dull edge. The Ceramic Sharpening Hone will resharpen an Edge Pro'd knife in seconds and it will do it over and over again because it removes so little metal. You will find you can go through several different honing routines in between Edge Pro sharpening. The Ceramic Sharpening Hone is very fine 1200-grit and while pretty useless on factory edges, it is magic on Edge Pro'd knives. Whether you are a professional chef, hard working line cook or aspiring amateur, this kit is pretty much all you will need to keep your precious blades at their peak of performance. The Edge Pro Apex system is easy, safe and a huge saver of time. We highly recommend these wonderful sharpening kits.

This is nothing less than a superb product. I’ve never sharpened a knife in my life before,and it took me just under an hour and a half to put a crazy sharp mirror polished edge on three Shun kitchen knives.

With a little practice the Edge Pro 4 is easy to use. Sharpened my 5 inch blade stiletto’s with a 320 grit stone first and then with a 600 grit stone to an unbelievable laser sharp edge. If you have tried other sharpeners like I have this product is the best. Buy your Edge Pro 4 from Chefknivestogo - timely product delivery and service.

The EdgePro was a great investment for me. It is dead easy to setup and use,even though I’d never done any sharpening before. Within my first couple of sessions I was able to get a much better edge on my knives than what they came with from the factory. I chose the Apex 4 because it came with the high-grit polishing tapes. They allow me to get a beautiful mirror finish on the edge,and I find that the mirror polished edge holds its sharpness longer too. Another great feature of this system is the compact carrying case it comes in - now all my friends want me to bring the EdgePro with me when I visit so I can sharpen their knives! Its fun and hardly takes any time at all for knives in relatively good shape (i.e. no major chips). I’m looking forward to experimenting with other stones made for the EdgePro,such as Chocera and Shapton. Easily worth the money.

I wish I had stumbled across this years ago. I have only been moderately successful as a hand sharpener,and have been hesitant to buy other kits (Gatco or Lansky). It does take a little practice to get going,but the same is true for any system. Go ahead an buy another 120 grit stone if you order a system,because you are going to want to reprofile a bunch of blades after you start using this. I just put a scary (to me) sharp edge on a kit knife that has been a piece of pretty but useless of junk. This was my second knife to sharpen on the kit,and I feel confident enough now to tackle my Randall #25 that I use to clean deer (yes I actually use a Randall to cut things).

The EdgePro is a worthwhile investment in my book!

The entire CKTG buying experience was superb. Mark clearly answered my questions (he picked up the phone on the first ring,old school,I like it)and the Edge Pro was shipped the same day I bought it. As for the Edge Pro itself,it works even better than I thought; I put a shaving-sharp edge on all my knives on the first try.

Love it. Near mirror polished blades and almost perfect re-profiles (even S30v!) in record time (both of which are my limited by my ability,not the system). Truly scary sharp results.

Easy to use,very sturdy,well engineered/built,good instructions. Almost feels like cheating.

Used other angle guide systems for years,while gnashing my teeth about spending so much on a sharpening system. I should have just bought the Apex in the first place.

||5.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||Knife sharpening has never been easier. Perfected from 20 years of sharpening over 100,000 knives, Ben Dale manufactures the world's most accurate knife sharpening system designed with the end user in mind. Whether you are a chef, butcher, hunter or simply someone that just likes knife sharpening, the Apex Edge Pro Sharpener is the tool for you.

The Edge Pro Apex offers a wide array of abrasive grits and sharpening angles, making it much more flexible in that regard than most clamp and v-rod systems. The cutting speed is also high with the very abrasive nature of the coarse hone and the ability to apply heavy pressure.

The sharpener allows for smooth variation of angle from 10 to 35 degrees per side. Several degree increments are marked out clearly (10,15,18,21,24), but you are not fixed at using these set angles. The five aluminum oxide water stones included in this kit are one inch wide and six inches long. They are mounted securely on the guide rod with the use of clamps between plastic molded grips. These clamps also serve as protection from the stone slipping off the knife and damaging the edge. As the blanks are not permanently fixed to the guide rod they can easily be used for field freehand honing if desired. The hones can also be reversed to slow down hollowing.

This “ultimate” kit includes everything you will need to sharpen and maintain your knives with a quick, safe and repeatability that will make you smile every time you use it.

This is a really terrific ceramic hone. Like all Idahones it has a great feel and works very well. I find the Idahones to be superior to any other brand I’ve tried. The plastic sheath is really brilliant- it protects the hone from damage,and when you draw the ceramic from the sheath the opposite end had a socket that holds the rod,allowing the entire length of the sheath to serve as a handle. Very slick!

I carry this one and a HA Borosilicate Glass hone in my work roll at all times. If either broke I’d be on the horn to CKtG for a replacement ASAP! For twenty bucks I gotta call this one a no-brainer!

The core steel is then covered in a layer of SUS 405 stainless steel. This imparts strength and lightness to the blade. It also makes maintenance easier than with a full carbon knife. The edge steel is still exposed so care is required to keep it from rusting. The cladding receives a very attractive nashiji or pear skin finish.

The primary grind of the blade starts high up on the face and imparts a great contrast to the nashiji portion. It is extremely well executed. The choil area has a very nice radius to it and together with the spine is polished to a high finish. The profile is nicely formed with a fairly flat main section giving way to a gentle curve towards the tip.

Fit and finish are of equally fine quality and this attribute is emphasized with the addition of a lovely octagonal handle with a buffalo horn ferrule. With a 50/50 grind, it is a good choice for both left- and right-handed users. The profile is quite curved for a gyuto and this makes it an especially good blade for rocking cutters.

Gihei was established in 1928 specializing in the production of nakiri-type (three-laminate knives) kitchen knivesâ€”either as santoku, kakugata or kengata (also gyuto or gyutu). These knives were manufactured in the traditional way, and Gihei built a very a good reputation based on these principles.

Current owner Atsushi Hosokawa, together with his son, has made his goal to preserve the outstanding characteristics of Japanese knives, like high sharpness, hardness, and ease of sharpening, but to work on some of the admitted disadvantages, such as the relatively brittle edge and susceptibility to rust. The Blue #2 line of knives featured here are a result of that endeavor. The blade has excellent grinds. Heat treatment of the blue #2 steel is really well executed, resulting in a HRC of 62-63. Edge retention and ease of sharpening are very much a feature of these blades. The stainless cladding has a very nice nashiji finish which adds to the strength and overall stability of the knife. They are also easy to maintain.

This is a well-proportioned knife with a generous height and lovely profile. The oak octagonal handle with buffalo horn ferrule are finished to a high standard and complement the beautiful nashiji cladding perfectly. We do not have a saya that fits this knife.

Their compact size and interesting profile have found a new legion of users in both professional and home environments. This is a vegetable cutter of the highest order. The flat edge and extra finger clearance make it an excellent choice for users who prefer push-cutting over a rocking style. The thin blade is made from super-hard steel called HAP40, a powdered metallurgy (PM) alloy. The steel is exquisitely heat-treated to a high 65-66 HRC.

This knife takes a very sharp edge and holds it for a long time. The blade profile is very flat, even for a nakiri, with a small radius right at the tip end for smaller rock-chopping tasks.

The core HAP40 steel is wrapped in a stainless steel outer layer to aid strength and wear resistance. The cladding is nicely polished, together with the lovely, semi-custom oak octagonal handle with an urushi finish.

As mentioned, the blade is quite thin with virtually no taper. The height at the heel is about 50mm, which is slightly less than average for a nakiri of this length. Fit and finish are of a high standard, which, combined with its other fine attributes, qualify the Gihei HAP40 nakiri as a great value.

HAP40 is an excellent steel for kitchen knives, especially when heat treated to 65-66 HRC. The heat treatment applied to Gihei blades is especially noteworthy. This combination results in a knife that takes an excellent edge and stays sharp through many long prep sessions. The Gihei company is located in Sanjo City and is one of the most innovative small blacksmith shops in the Prefecture.

Petty knives are small utility knives of Japanese design. They can vary significantly in profile and size, going from 75mm to 210mm. Petty knives are similar to the typical western paring or utility knife and are adept at many small, detailed cutting tasks. They also excel at preparing garnishes and other artistic endeavors.

We love how Atsushi Hosokawa and his associates use the best steels and techniques. Partnered to the fine blade is a lovely semi-custom walnut octagonal handle with a burnt urushi finish. Sweet looks, great performance, and a fair price combine to make this versatile petty a great value.

The santoku featured here is constructed using HAP40 PM semi-stainless steel as the inner core (hagane) with a strong outer jigane made from stainless steel. HAP40 is a very good steel for kitchen knives, especially when heat treated to 65-66 HRC. The heat treatment applied to Gihei blades is of notable quality. This combination results in a knife that takes a great edge and stays sharp for a long time.

Santoku knives are probably the Japanese knife best established in the western marketplace. Santoku knives are prized for their handy, user-friendly size and gyuto/chef’s knife-like versatility.

This santoku is paired with a lovely oak octagonal handle with burnt urushi finish.

They are real bang-for-your-buck items that look and feel like far more pricy counterparts. The knife featured here is from the AS Morado line.

Little needs to be said about AS, or Aogami Super. This Hitachi Metals steel is considered to be just about the best mix of high carbon steels used in the making of kitchen knives. All of the Hitachi Carbon steels can deliver amazing levels of sharpness and AS is about as good as it can get in this regard. Plus, it is very easy to sharpen, resulting in silky smooth cuts through any produce.

The Harukaze AS Morado Gyuto 210mm comes slightly over-sized in length at about 215mm on the edge. It is ground with an aggressive edge bevel and a steep angle at the cutting edge. This is a very sharp knife! It has a fairly thin blade that tapers down to a very thin tip. The blade is quite stiff with a nice neutral feel on the boards.

Fit and finish are outstanding for the price and the attractive oval handle made from walnut and maple is nicely installed.

We asked them for a line of knives that would embody the traditions of Japanese knife making while using some of the best steels and modern techniquesâ€”and at a price point that would be affordable to most chefs on the line and at home. Enter the Harukaze AS Morado!

These great looking knives are made from one of our all-time favorite steels, Aogami Super or Super Blue. This has to be one of the best alloys available for making kitchen knives. It is a hard steel that can be taken to a high Rockwell rate. But it is also one that will sharpen with ease while taking a razor-sharp edge. The inner core of AS steel is clad, san-mai style, with a softer stainless steel. The jigane is then given a great looking kurouchi and tsuchime finish. This makes for a very easy-to-maintain blade and a really smart looking knife.

In keeping with many blades from the Tosa region, this blade is slightly over length, coming in at 245mm. These are really well achieved grinds that look better than the price would suggest. The spine thickness is pretty constant along the length up to the thin tip.

A very nicely finished oval handle made from rosewood and maple completes this compelling picture.

The look is the most obvious attraction. Resembling weapons more than any other kitchen knife shape, kiritsuke knives are quite unusual in many other ways. Just as important as the look is the function they provide from having a slightly flatter profile than a regular gyuto. The fine tip is also great for intricate detail work.

Classic Japanese kiritsukes are single-beveled knives. Using a double bevel enhances durability at the edge and gives an ambidextrous personality to the blade overall. This style of blade is perfect for push and pull cutting, plus the flatter edge makes it a good substitute for a slicer. The knife will be a favorite with cooks who do a lot of protein work and veggie prep, as well as those who like to push rather than rock through large ingredients.

The blade of this kiri is made from Aogami Super, one of the most popular high carbon steel alloys used in the making of Japanese knives. AS possesses very good edge retention and fine edge capabilities. Wear resistance is average, but it is quite easy to sharpen. The core steel on this knife is hardened to about 63 HRC. It is reactive so wiping down and drying should be done after every use. The hagane is clad in the san-mai style, with a softer semi stainless steel. This greatly increases corrosion protection which makes the knife so much easier to maintain. It comes attached to a nice walnut oval handle with a maple ferrule. We don't have a saya that fits this knife--get the blade guard.

Made specifically for CKTG, these value added knives are made from one of the top carbon steels, Aogami Super.

AS is a steel derived from Aogami 2, or Blue # 2, which has been augmented with the addition of more carbon, chromium, and tungsten. It is regarded as the best of the Hitachi Blue paper carbon steels with regard to both edge retention and its ability to be sharpened to an acute angle. The core steel is hardened to 63 HRC and clad with soft stainless alloy which adds strength and protects the knife from reacting with acids or moisture.

Then is a vegetable cutter of the highest order. The flat edge and extra finger clearance make it a great choice for users who prefer push cutting over a rocking style. The thin blade is made to push through the hardest ingredients without wedging or fracturing the produce. This is a knife that takes a very sharp edge and holds it for a long time. The blade profile is very flat with a small belly and radius right at the tip end for smaller rock-chopping tasks. The blade is mated to a nice rosewood oval handle with a pakka wood ferrule.

Because of this, Aogami Super is a steel that can take and hold a very acute edge angle. It is also relatively easy to sharpen as compared to other carbon steels. We are seeing more and more makers add this great alloy to their knife catalogs.

This is a classic santoku design. It is a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means three virtues or to solve three problems. The virtues or problems are said to be slicing, dicing, and mincing. It is a tall blade that offers increased finger-to-board clearance, while the shorter length makes it ideal for handling a wide variety of produce and proteins.

This fine santoku is made in Tosa especially for our CKTG customers. Anyone seeking a knife made from the best steel, with a great grind and an affordable price, can stop their search now!

We like the name and image it conjures up! We have Harukaze knives made exclusively for CKTG by a well-regarded factory in Tosa, Japan. There are various types of steel and styles available in this multi-line range of cutlery.

Featured here is an example of their line made from VG1 stainless steel. It is an easy to sharpen stainless mono steel that is not as hard or brittle as some other stainless steels. Of course, this is a very easy steel to maintain in terms of corrosion and rust prevention since it's fully stainless.

We are so impressed with the overall fit and finish of these knives given their very keen price. They have lovely rosewood and maple handles that are oval and fully ambidextrous. Please note that the handle is installed with a machi (the gap between the ferrule and the neck). This is not a mistake!

The grinds are really well done and the out-of-the-box edge is about average for this kind of knife. So a quick trip to the stones will reveal the true beast within!

We really like the profile of this very versatile slicer. It can easily be used as a short-height gyuto. And at the price it represents one of the best values on the site.

Very sharp,easy to manipulate,and avery handsome knife. It does a great job on tomatoes and fresh mozzarella,two items that can be downright frustrating with a below-average knife. I was especially impressed by the short amount of time it took to get shipped.

||2.000 ||||1||1||1||0||||||||The blade of this 180mm gyuto has been fashioned from a core of VG-10 core stainless steel which has had an outer cladding of a 17-layer damascus stainless alloy applied to either side. The softer stainless steel cladding is given a tsuchime (hammered) finish, which enhances the knife’s great looks and also helps in achieving better food release.

The mid 180mm gyuto is a real jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen. It can tackle virtually any ingredient, large or small, cooked or raw. This particular version of the ubiquitous chef knife possesses a great balance and fast cutting action. This is a wonderful rendition of East meets West. The western style handle is attractive and easy to care for with a sturdy full metal tang. It is very well finished and adds a touch of class to the attractive aesthetic of the damascus hammered blade.

The Japanese style blade is light and more nimble than its European and American counterparts. This is a really nice, durable, and very easy to maintain knife for all kinds of uses and users.

This Hammered Damascus line is the knife of a hundred companies. I dont know if Sakai Takayuki finishes the knife off any different than Togiharu,Gekko,Yoshihiro,etc... but I had to give one a try and have to say that this knife is legit. Fit and finish are decent - barely crooked bolster but handle is a nice size and fit. Light yet doesn’t feel flimsy and damn sharp out the box. Bevel on mine is not 50/50 almost like a 60/40. The knife itself is a looker though the inclusion of "made in japan" under the kanji is a little corny. All these slight flaws don’t hinder the fact that this knife has been performing strong in a professional kitchen while getting a lot of use as a line knife and not being handled lightly. I haven’t sharpened it once,not even out the box and it is still cutting through almost anything with ease as long as I hone it every once and a while. Wouldn’t use for heavy prep or anything sloppy - handle can get a little slippery,and Im not saying it is taking down chicken bones but it was working fine on small pumpkins the other day. Overall,this isn’t some gift shop knife even though it is sold under many names and stories. I would recommend for any use - home,student,pro

It is also called V-Gold 10 and it is, hands down, the most used stainless steel in the Japanese kitchen knife industry. There are several reasons for this popularity, leading among them is the great stain resistance of the steel and its ability to take a very sharp edge.

This is a classic santoku and is the most popular blade shape used by Japanese cooks. It's on the long side for a santoku at 185mm, which adds balance and versatility to the knife. The edge is double-sided, so it is useful for right- and left-handed users. It is also a breeze to maintain. This is a high performer and great looker at a very attractive price.

The blade of this 240mm suji has been fashioned from a core of VG-10 core stainless steel which has had an outer cladding of a 17-layer damascus stainless alloy applied to either side. The softer stainless steel cladding is given a tsuchime (hammered) finish, which enhances the knife’s great looks and also helps in achieving better food release.

It can tackle virtually any ingredient, large or small, cooked or raw. This particular version of the ubiquitous chef knife possesses a great balance and fast cutting action. This is a wonderful rendition of East meets West. The western style handle is attractive and easy to care for with a sturdy full metal tang. It is very well finished and adds a touch of class to the attractive aesthetic of the damascus hammered blade.

The Japanese style blade is light and more nimble than its European and American counterparts. This is a really nice, durable, and very easy to maintain knife for all kinds of uses and users.

Harukaze means "windy spring" in Japanese. We like the name and image it conjures up! We have Harukaze knives made exclusively for CKTG by a well-regarded factory in Tosa, Japan. We specified a kurouchi finish to these knives for the added protection it affords, as well as the great rustic look that so many people love.

The inner core of White #2 is covered with a layer of soft iron that adds lightness and strength to the blade. It is quite a stout blade for a bunka but it is still light and nimble in hand. These knives are so versatile they can cover almost all needs in the kitchen, from in-hand work to major prep sessions. They come with a lovely oval rosewood and black pakka handle which is perfect for right- and left-handed users.

We are very impressed with the overall fit and finish of these knives given their very keen price. We think you will be too.

The Harukaze name is derived from the Japanese word for “windy spring.”

Harukaze White #2 knives are constructed from high carbon Shirogami #2 steel. This is a very popular alloy used for kitchen knives. It is favored for its great edge retention and ease of sharpening characteristics. The blade is made san-mai style with an outer cladding of a soft carbon steel. The iron is left with the forger’s scale on the blade for that classic rustic look. The cladding not only looks cool, but it also goes a long way in protecting the soft iron jigane. Daily maintenance is reduced significantly by the use of this kurouchi jigane.

This is a standard kakugata style nakiri, which is one of the best knives for cutting vegetables. It is ground with a symmetrical 50/50 edge bevel. Blade height is about average for this length of knife, as is the weight. The knife comes with a well-finished oval rosewood and black pakka wood handle.

These knives represent some of the best value in our store and would make the perfect introduction to the world of Japanese kitchen cutlery.

The Hatsukokoro White #2 Kiritsuke 210mm is a single-bevel knife that is meant for right-handed users only. This is a great deal on a hard-to-find item that is made by a small blacksmith shop. It comes with a nice kasumi (polished) finish. The steel is White #2, which is an excellent quality carbon steel that needs to be wiped dry after hand washing to avoid rust. Once a patina forms, it will turn black and will become less reactive.

But when we were offered this little beauty we thought it might be a nice addition to the store…and our customers' kitchen drawers or tool boxes.

The higo folder is made in Miki City by a very small shop that specializes in knives of this type. Higo is an abbreviation of higonokami, which is a type of folding knife that originated in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture, in 1896. The term "higo no kami" means "Lord of Higo" in Japanese, in honor of the Lord of the Kyushu area of Japan, where the knife originated. Higos are abbreviated from the original name because the actual higonokami word is a trademark owned by a Miki Knife Guild that has granted sole use to just one maker.

The higo knife has no locking system. Rather, it is a friction folder or "penny knife." These knives work with the friction of the swivel and the pressure of the user's thumb on its lever or chikiri. This arrangement prevents the knife from folding during use.

This is a great little higo that stands out due to the good looking speckled handle that adds some bling to the package. The handle is also printed with some nice kanji which also appear on the blade face.

Shirogami (White) #1, a pure carbon steel alloy, is almost identical to Blue #1 steel except for the absence of chromium and tungsten.

Ishikawa-san White #2 carbon steel layered with a soft iron cladding. The rustic nature of his knives is very obvious and they are not the fit and finish kings that other blacksmiths produce. He places value on shape and sharpness more than on aesthetics. But at the price and considering the one-man handmade nature of these blades that is a plus, not a negative. Mr. Ishikawa does a unique semi S grind on his blades that are basically flat on the back side so this knife is made for a right-handed person.

We are thrilled to introduce the extraordinary craftsmanship of Ishikawa-san, a master blacksmith whose work we discovered through a compelling Japanese TV interview. After learning his story and experiencing his exceptional knives, we knew they deserved a place in our collection. CKTG is proud to be the exclusive USA dealer for these unique blades.

Ishikawa-san's knives are crafted from White #2 carbon steel, layered with a soft iron cladding. Their rustic charm is immediately apparent, reflecting his focus on functionality over polished aesthetics. Unlike many blacksmiths who prioritize finish, Ishikawa-san emphasizes shape and sharpness, delivering tools designed for performance. At this price point, the handmade, one-man artistry behind these blades is a testament to their exceptional value.

One standout feature of Ishikawa-san's knives is the semi-S grind he employs, which creates a flat backside tailored for right-handed users. This thoughtful design enhances cutting performance and highlights his unique approach to knife-making.

To complete these rare blades, each knife is paired with a stunning octagonal handle, handcrafted by a small artisan in southern Japan. The handle features a beautiful burnt oak urushi finish, reminiscent of traditional wood-clad houses in the Japanese countryside, adding both functionality and elegance to these remarkable tools.

Discover the rare artistry and unmatched craftsmanship of Ishikawa-san’s knives – a treasure for any kitchen and a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese blacksmithing.

Now this process could finally end when itâ€™s last practitioner, Michio Ishikawa, retires. He has no apprentice as of the time of this writing, so with him goes the secrets and skills needed to make blades using the Nakaniida Proprietary process of forging.

We recently discovered this blacksmith through a good friend in Japan. After hearing the story and seeing his interview on Japanese TV we decided to introduce his unique knives to our customers.

Not only is the 28 stage process one of a kind, but his use of a single bevel design in knives normally made with two edges places them in the very rare category. We hardly ever see a single-sided gyuto so we just had to give this and its santoku sibling a place in our store.

There are some fundamental differences in cutting and sharpening styles that will be required in the use of single bevel knives. But not so hard that some practice will not overcome these obstacles. The upside of single bevel knives is their in-built acute cutting edge. Being single sided means that the inclusive edge angle is about 15 degrees as opposed to a double edge where the angle is around 30 degrees. This enhances the cutting abilities, makes food release easier and minimizes wedging. However, it does result in a blade that is restricted to right-handed users.

Ishikawa-san uses both White and Blue #2 steels in his knives. This gyuto is made with White #2 which receives a soft iron cladding. The rustic nature of his knives is very obvious and they are not the fit and finish kings that other blacksmiths produce. He places value on shape and sharpness more than on aesthetics. But at the price and considering the one-man handmade nature of these blades that is a plus, not a negative.

To find such unusual knives made by a craftsman of his caliber and experience is a rare thing. We have added a very nice octagonal custom oak handle to further enhance the originality of the blade.

The workshop is located in the Miyagi Prefecture and has been in operation for over 350 years. Once in a while we are lucky enough to be able to offer a unique and historically significant knife line to our customers. The knife line we present here is significant in that it is probably the last series of knives being produced using the Nakaniida process.

This very interesting process involves 28 steps and is significant in that the blade is hardened 3 times. The complete operation is carried out by Mr. Ishikawa. In addition to this unique process, all of his knives are single beveled designs.

White #2 carbon alloy is his steel of choice; it is clad with a soft iron outer layer which is enhanced by leaving the carbon forging scale in place, thus creating the finish known as kurouchi. While these knives have average fit and finish, it is obvious that Ishikawa-san places value on shape and sharpness more than on visual appeal.

This nakiri has an unusual single-beveled edge and thus comes with the customary inclusive edge angle of about 20 degrees as opposed to a double edge where the angle is around 30 degrees. This enhances the cutting abilities, makes food release easier, and minimizes wedging. However, it does result in a blade that is restricted to right-handed users. The handle is a nice custom octagonal using burl wood and it's stabilized for long use.

The blade is created using a technique known as the Nakaniida Process, which involves 28 steps and is unique in that the blade is hardened three times. This entire process is carried out by Mr. Ishikawa himself.

The blade sports a core of White #2 steel which possesses great edge resilience and wear resistance. It sharpens up very well and can be treated to a high level of hardness. The hagane (inner core) is covered with a softer iron jigane (outer layer) in the san-mai style. This process leaves the inner core exposed along the spine. The cladding is left with its natural carbon finish on the upper blade road while the lower road is given a satin appearance which contrasts with and enhances the polished cutting edge. Both the core and cladding should be kept dry and acidic ingredients should be wiped off often during early use.

Of course the unusual aspect of this knife is its single bevel grind. This is an interesting twist on a shape that is usually ground on both sides. The single bevel allows for a much more acute cutting edge angle, further enhancing the knifeâ€™s ability to take on very hard ingredients without wedging or splitting the produce. As such, the knife is only useful to right-handed users.

We commissioned her to make these amazing prints to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

In Japan there are many gods in the Shinto religion and there is a special god of handtools called Kajiya Kojin. Yuuka san was inspired to make a block print depicting Kajiya Kojin with 3 heads & 6 hands. You will see many leaves at both sides. The tree is called â€œKatsuraâ€ which is a special tree existing in Japan and is a holy tree of God. Two white herons birds are flying which are considered messengers of God. There is a big stump of a tree in front of the God that Yuuka san noticed when touring the blacksmith shop at MIKI-SYO. Mr. Nagaike kindly took a short tour of his workshop, where he actually demonstrated how to flatten kogatanas for her to get inspiration.

Yuuka san made 24 prints in all and 21 of them were given to our blacksmith friends and distributors in Japan. We took #1 for our office. That leaves #2 and #3 that were are offering for sale. In the future, we may do a second run of them but this run is the first.

The hankotsu is a knife that falls into this category for many aspiring users.

These unusual knives are primarily designed to bone and process meat. They are built with stout, short blades that have a very pointed tip. An unusual aspect of the hankotsu is its heel design where the blade transforms straight into the handle or bolster. There is absolutely no knuckle clearance if the hankotsu is used on a cutting board, which makes the knife more useful for processing hanging meats or for boning chops or Frenching rib racks. They have really stiff blades with no flex at all, unlike a western boning knife. For safety reasons, hankotsu knives also have an edge that is not sharpened all the way to the handle.

This knife is a single bevel style and as such is made for left-handed users.

As is the case with all of the Kanehide TK knives, fit and finish of both blade and rosewood handle are quite amazing given its price point.

This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.

It is the same steel that is used in the ever-popular Kikuichi TKC line of blades. The honesuki pictured here is specially designed for processing poultry, but many use the knife for other tasks as well.

Many honesuki knives are single bevel designs, reflecting their Japanese heritage. But many are now being made with a two-sided edge, as is this example. A side effect of this double bevel is that the knife becomes more of a general-purpose petty style knife. The shape and weight allow for easy and secure in-hand work as well as being an excellent blade for creating garnishes.

Another unique aspect of this knife is that it's ground asymmetrically for better performance from the spine to the edge. The overall fit and finish of the blade and handle are a revelation given their keen pricing. The rosewood handle, in particular, is wonderfully conceived and finished.

If you are looking for a blade that will not break the bank while allowing you entry into a specialized area of kitchen cutlery, we cannot recommend the Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm highly enough!

This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.

The Kanehide Bessaku Honesuki 150mm is crafted from semi-stainless mono steel, the same high-performance material used in the renowned Kikuichi TKC line. Originally designed for processing poultry, this versatile knife has become a popular choice for a variety of kitchen tasks.

Unlike traditional single-bevel honesuki knives, this blade features a double-bevel edge, giving it more of a general-purpose utility akin to a petty knife. Its unique shape and balanced weight make it ideal for secure in-hand work and precision tasks like garnishing.

Another standout feature is its asymmetrical grind, enhancing cutting performance from the spine to the edge. Combined with exceptional fit and finish, the knife’s value is unmatched. The rosewood handle, in particular, offers a beautifully crafted and comfortable grip, adding a touch of elegance to its functional design.

With half the chromium content of fully stainless steel, the blade is reactive and will develop a patina over time. Wash and towel dry immediately after use to maintain its appearance and performance. For extra care, you can use Bar Keepers Friend.

Foremost among those is its amazing value coupled with its outstanding levels of construction and fit and finish.

The blade is made from a proprietary semi-stainless steel which Kanehide calls TK steel. This very interesting alloy is a bit like stainless with a bit of carbon, so it takes and holds a nice edge while being really easy to sharpen. Meanwhile, as it is semi-stainless, the normal maintenance routine associated with high-carbon blades is reduced quite substantially. This knife has half the chromium of a fully stainless knife, so it will be reactive and form a patina. Wash and towel dry after each use, and use Bar Keepers Friend if desired.The knife is a mono steel construction and the steel is hardened to 60-61 HRC.

Although Kanehide calls this a sujihiki, that name is usually associated with a double-bevel design. This knife is ground on one side only, so could be regarded as a yanagiba more than the normal sujihiki style slicer.

The blade has a lovely profile and the edge is well ground. Fit and finish are quite outstanding given its price point. So if you are looking for a versatile slicer that is easy to maintain and is easy on the pocket, you need look no further!

Kanehide was able to increase the hardness to HRC 60-61 through special heat treating and also increasing the wear resistance by giving the blades by using a cryogenic treatment with liquid nitrogen at minus 180 degrees C. The sub-zero treating works to change retained austenite to martensite, as a result, it is effective not only to enhance the hardness but also the wear resistance.

The result is a fully stainless knife that sharpens extremely well and cuts great. It features a nice, custom handle made by our woodworker.

After 2 months of testing, we felt that this was quite simply the best Western-handled stainless steel knife in its price range. It's fully stainless, sharpens extremely well, and has a nice handle. It's superior to the Mac Pro, Masamoto VG, Tojiro DP, Misono UX10, Richmond Artifex, and the Fujiwara FKM which we also sell and are all in a similar price range. Try it. You won't regret it.
