Compact, nimble and uncompromisingly sharp – the HIKARI all-purpose knife is the quick helper for every day.
Made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and featuring an ergonomic amber-colored sycamore handle, it delivers controlled cuts for vegetables, herbs, or smaller pieces of meat.
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.
Large chef's knives are often too unwieldy for quick, intermediate tasks.
The HIKARI all-purpose knife fills this gap: Lightweight, maneuverable, and razor-sharp, it handles mushroom cleaning as well as fresh herbs. The fine tip allows for precise positioning, while the wide heel ensures stable cuts.
This makes every preparation a joy rather than a chore.
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.
Suitable for:
Blade
67 layers of Damascus steel with an edge-retaining 10Cr15CoMoV core and 66 layers of corrosion-resistant 316/316L stainless steel.
The blade is vacuum heat-treated, one of the most advanced hardening technologies in the world, for an especially uniform structure, smooth surface and outstanding edge retention. With a hardness of 60-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale, it offers the ideal combination of resilience and long-lasting cutting performance.
The Japanese V-grind at 15° per side ensures uncompromising sharpness. Exception: the bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated grind.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, high stability and maximum durability, even with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomic handle is made from selected, light figured sycamore maple.
The natural grain makes each knife unique. Multiple polishing steps create an especially smooth surface for secure grip and comfortable handling, even during longer use.
Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
