When we say unique, there is truly only 1 like this! By Nakamura, known as a team of some of the most experienced craftsmen from Sakai-city at Osaka. The Kaishin Custom is ideal for knife collectors and/or enthusiasts that appreciate a longer chef knife with a heavier feel in the hand. Custom assembled by Kakushin; Damascus Clad Hontanren forged Ginsan Silver Steel #3 blade and a unique stabilized wood handle from the Netherlands which was heat fitted and solidified with hot glue resulting in this piece of art.

Kiritsuke are known as a multipurpose traditional Japanese chef knife. A Kiritsuke is visually appealing due to its unique shape and extremely popular as a primary knife in any kitchen to cut meats, vegetables, fruits and many more. Several makers now produce double-bevel Kiritsukes, often called Kiritsuke Gyutos which are ideal for users who appreciate the striking aesthetics of the profile but need the added versatility and ease of sharpening of a double bevel grind.

Traditionally, these knives were only used by the Executive Chefs as a symbol of status.
