Kitaoka Damascus White #1

Hideo Kitaoka is a traditional knife smith working in Takefu Village knife co-operative. This selection of knives is made with White #1 steel with a suminagashi (Damascus) cladding that is really beautiful. HRC on these knives is 63/64 and they're one of the better quality sushi knives on our site. We highly recommend Mr. Kitaoka's knives for anyone making traditional Japanese cuisine.
