6" Japanese Damascus Utility Knife

From a company that's been smithing quality steel in Japan since 1849 comes a daily-use utility knife forged from three layers of steel. The handles are made from laminated wood, carved into a geometric hexagon pattern — while the unique hammer-forged patterns on the blade nod to Kanetsugu's traditional bladesmithing techniques.

With roots going as far back as 1345, Kanetsugu began as an operation crafting katana swords for samurai. In the centuries since, they've transferred their blade-making expertise into the kitchen, now combining the latest technology with master craftsmanship to create long-lasting knives that are easy to maintain and pay homage to their Japanese heritage.
