Whether it's finely chopping herbs, carving a roast, or precisely filleting fish – the HIKARI chef's knife will guide you through every cutting task with ease.
Finely balanced, pleasantly lightweight, and crafted from 67 layers of Damascus steel, it sits securely in the hand. The ergonomic amber-colored sycamore handle lends both elegance and control.
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.
Blunt or poorly balanced knives make any kitchen task difficult – whether it’s vegetables, meat or herbs.
The HIKARI chef's knife solves precisely this problem: Its curved blade supports gentle rocking movements, while the light spine allows for effortless control. Combined with the non-slip sycamore wood, this creates perfect control with every technique.
Ideal for those who enjoy versatile cooking and value precision, efficiency, and aesthetics.
Each blade is hand-ground in several steps and carefully inspected – for uncompromising sharpness and absolute control. The fine-grained structure of the Damascus steel core ensures long-lasting edge retention and can be easily resharpened as needed.
