Kanjo VG10 Black Damascus Petty 150mm. During a trip to Japan a few years ago I met young up-and-coming knife maker, Kanjo Tsukahara. He had been working with his father, Tsukahara-san, for just five years but he asked if he could design some knives for our customers in the USA.
Fast forward a few years, and we are now able to present one of the results of this collaboration. The Kanjo black damascus is a unique knife to our site made with VG10 damascus and a unique finish that gives a dramatic look to the blade. The knife is fully stainless and has excellent heat treatment and grinds that make quick work when cutting food.
Fit and finish on these knives is top shelf and the design aesthetic is excellent. The knife also comes with a new black handle that looks great on the dramatic blade.Maker: Kanjo Tsukahara

Home cook: bought this knife in a shop in Tokyo Kappabashi not knowing its maker. Had it and used it daily for the past 4 months trying to figure out who made it and why it was so good (especially for its price): It is great and definitely punches above it's weight. I was actually suprised how much I liked to use this knife alongside my Yu Kurosaki and Kotetsu. If you're looking at it, don't hesitate, it checks all the boxes.
