Product Description
A favorite of Stoddard’s, you can’t help but fall in love with this true workhorse of a boning knife. Its thick blade makes it appear that it will be heavy to handle, but you’ll be amazed at how light it feels in your hand.
A 700 year old family tradition of unsurpassed craftsmanship, Kikuichi is the ONLY Japanese cutlery manufacturer with the true legacy of a Samurai swordsmith. And Stoddard’s is proud to have been chosen as their first authorized dealer in the U.S.
For most of their long storied history, Kikuichi manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor’s Chrysanthemum symbol (or “Kiku-no-mon”) as a mark of their excellence. Today, that same symbol appears on all of their knives. No one else in Japan is allowed the same privilege. The sharpness of their high-quality, handcrafted 2-sided blade is easily maintained. Each blade is made of 100% carbon steel that will not only hold the sharpest cutting edge imaginable, but can easily be re-sharpened. The compressed wood handle has 2 rivets for optimum balance and durability. All Kikuichi knives are packaged in an attractive gift box with sharpening and care instructions.
When you purchase any Kikuichi knife, you will own a piece of history and unsurpassed craftsmanship like no other.
