When uncompromising sharpness meets powerful stability, the AKANE chef's knife is created.

Its powdered steel core is embedded in 73 layers of Damascus steel and balanced by a dark rosewood handle. This allows it to master demanding cuts as confidently as precise fillets.

Each knife is unique – with individual damask grain and a natural wood handle, which can be engraved upon request to create a truly personal work of art.

MISAKI – where quality meets art.

Tough fibers, hard vegetables, hours of preparation – intensive use separates a good knife from an excellent one.

The AKANE chef's knife was designed for peak performance: With a hardened blade (64 HRC) and a powerful weight, it delivers uncompromising sharpness and the utmost precision – even with the most demanding ingredients. The extra mass supports quick weighing without sacrificing control.

A tool for professionals who rely on maximum cutting quality.

Each blade is hand-ground in several steps and carefully inspected – for uncompromising sharpness, maximum wear resistance, and absolute control with every cut. The fine-grain powder steel core retains its edge exceptionally well and can be precisely resharpened as needed.

blade

73 layers of hammered Damascus steel with a high-alloy powder steel core (14Cr14MoVNb) and 72 layers of rust-resistant SUS 410 stainless steel.

The vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment creates an extremely fine microstructure with the highest hardness. With a Rockwell hardness of 62–64 HRC, the blade is among the most durable and cutting-edge blades in its class. The niobium content in the core gives the blade extreme sharpness and maximum wear resistance.

The Japanese V-grind with 15° per side guarantees uncompromising precision. Exception: The bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated edge.

The characteristic hammering gives the Damascus knife a special character and underlines its handcrafted aesthetic.

Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, increased stability and maximum durability during intensive use.

Handle

The ergonomically shaped handle made of dark, noble rosewood lies comfortably and securely in the hand – even during prolonged use.

Each handle is finely polished several times to achieve a particularly smooth, supple surface that not only looks high-quality but also provides a pleasant grip.

Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
