Product Description
A Stoddard’s Exclusive, this high performance vegetable cleaver will make your daily meal prep something to look forward to.
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 one of the knife blades 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.
