There's a certain artistry in a blade this long and true the Kurogane Sakimaru's upswept tip and flowing Damascus pattern speak to centuries of sashimi-cutting tradition, and each pull through the steel feels effortless, deliberate, and clean.

Precision-forged for the long draw cut, it's a knife built for those who take their sushi seriously.

Beneath the pattern lies 49 layers of Damascus steel wrapped around an ultra-hard premium steel core, hardened to 65-67 HRC for an edge that holds its line.

The ebony wood handle, finished in hand-polished lacquer, balances the 10-inch blade for confident control. This is a knife built for one job above all slicing sashimi and sushi-grade fish with the long, smooth pulls that define proper technique.

Kurogane - Sakimaru Knife Damascus 10"

Two months of daily use and it still performs like the first day. The edge has held beautifully with only occasional honing, the handle is as comfortable as ever, and the finish has not marked at all. Exceptional craftsmanship, effortless cutting, and it arrived beautifully boxed. Whether you are buying it for yourself or as a gift, you will not be disappointed.

The edge arrived sharper than anything else in my kitchen, and I mean that literally. It falls through whatever you put in front of it with no pressure at all, no sawing, no wrestling. You can genuinely see the hand work in the hammered finish, no two marks are identical. Beautiful craftsmanship at a price that still surprises me.

Sharper than my old German knives by a mile. Cuts like it wants to.

Kurogane - Sakimaru Knife Damascus 10"

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he has barely put it down since. He keeps calling me into the kitchen to show me how thin he can slice things. The presentation box made it feel like a proper gift rather than a kitchen tool.

Beautiful steel, beautiful balance, and it holds its edge far longer than I expected.

Kurogane - Sakimaru Knife Damascus 10"

Honestly the best kitchen purchase I have made in ten years. The weight sits perfectly in the hand, the handle is smooth with no rough edges, and the cutting is effortless. Prep that used to take twenty minutes now takes eight.

Kurogane - Sakimaru Knife Damascus 10"

As a culinary student I have handled a lot of knives, and this quality is genuinely professional grade. The grind is even on both sides, the heat treatment is clearly done properly, and the spine is rounded enough to rest a finger on through a long prep session. It has become the one I reach for every single shift.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
