We paired it with a handcrafted Olive Wood handle accented by flowing epoxy, creating a combination that feels both timeless and modern. As the finishing touch, the blade received our traditional hand-engraved Kakushin Kanji—a small signature that makes every custom assembly uniquely its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Tosa, Japan, the Kagami series is known for its elegant balance of refinement and practicality. The blade features a brilliant Migaki polish contrasted by a deeply textured Tsuchime Damascus finish, allowing the mirror-polished surfaces to reflect light while the hammered pattern adds movement, texture, and unmistakable handcrafted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core is VG10 stainless steel, heat treated to approximately 61 HRC. Chosen for its excellent balance of sharpness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, it's a steel that performs exceptionally well whether you're an experienced enthusiast or simply looking for a premium everyday kitchen knife. The thin edge geometry allows it to pass effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and herbs while remaining durable enough for years of regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this particular build, we wanted the handle to highlight the elegance of the blade rather than compete with it. The warm, natural grain of the Olive Wood blends seamlessly into translucent epoxy accents, creating subtle depth and visual contrast that changes depending on the angle and lighting. The result is understated yet distinctive—a handle that feels as refined as the blade it carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat impressed us most about the Kagami series is the level of finishing. The carefully rounded spine and choil, crisp grind lines, and smooth polish transitions all contribute to a knife that feels exceptionally comfortable from the moment it's picked up. After extensive testing in our workshop, it quickly became clear that these knives deliver performance well beyond what many people expect from a VG10 production blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished with our custom Olive Wood and epoxy handle and completed entirely in-house at Kakushin, this knife exists as a single, exclusive build. It's a blend of Japanese craftsmanship and our own design philosophy, created for someone who appreciates owning a knife that nobody else will ever have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Assembled in Canada 🍁","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51600317513961,"sku":null,"price":530.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/KagamiCustom.png?v=1785415808","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/kagami-custom-620-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
