Description

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

There's a graceful precision to a blade this slender. The Kogarashi Filleting Knife flexes just enough to follow the curve of a bone, gliding through fish with clean, controlled strokes.

The burnt white oak and red G10 handle brings a warm, striking contrast that feels as good in hand as it looks on display.

Forged from a custom 67-layer Damascus steel and hardened to 60±2 HRC, the blade holds a fine 15°±1 edge for precise, flexible cutting.

The white oak and red G10 handle offers a secure, comfortable grip, and the knife is well-suited for filleting fish of all sizes and peeling or trimming small items not for cutting bones, frozen food, or other hard objects.

Handmade quality is obvious. The little imperfections are the point.

Very sharp and very light. Not what I expected from something this well built.

Kogarashi - Filleting Knife Damascus 7.5"

It arrived with a mirror clean edge and has held it beautifully. Soft or hard, delicate or heavy, there is no chipping, no rolling, no complaints. Considering how thin the edge is, that says a lot about the heat treatment.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for and maintain my knife?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Hand wash with warm water and mild soap immediately after use, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never put your knives in the dishwasher; the heat and harsh detergents will damage both the blade and the handle.

Store them in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with blade guards to protect the edge.

How often should I sharpen my knives, and how?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

With regular home use, honing with a ceramic rod every few weeks keeps the edge aligned, and a full sharpening every 6 to 12 months restores it completely. A whetstone at around 1000/3000 grit is the best option for maintaining the fine edge these blades are known for.

Are these knives suitable for beginners or only for professional chefs?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

They're designed for both. The balance and lightweight feel make them comfortable for home cooks, while the edge retention and precision are what professionals look for. If you're new to high-quality knives, the main adjustment is learning to let the blade do the work instead of applying pressure.

Does it come in packaging suitable for a gift?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Yes. Each knife ships in a protective presentation box, so it's ready to give as-is without needing any extra wrapping. It's a common choice for weddings, housewarmings, and anyone getting serious about cooking.

Is the handle comfortable for long prep sessions?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Yes. The handle is shaped to sit naturally in the hand and the knife is balanced so the weight doesn't pull forward. That balance is what prevents wrist fatigue when you're prepping for a while, and it's one of the biggest differences you'll feel compared to a cheap knife.

What if I'm not satisfied with my knife?

keyboard_arrow_down

You're covered by a 30-day risk-free trial. Use it, cook with it, and if it's not right for you, send it back for a full refund. The knife is also backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
