8.5 inch Kiritsuke Chef Knife - Japanese Vegetable Meat Knife - German HC Steel - Full Tang Pakkawood Handle

TUO, a professional kitchen knife brand, was founded in 2009 and has since become a pioneer in the industry. Our commitment to integrating traditional craftsmanship with modern technology has allowed us to provide consumers with high-quality kitchen knives. Our spirit of exploration and adventure inspires every restless heart.

Established in 2009, the "TUO" brand focuses on the R&D and design of forward-looking aesthetic kitchen knives, leading the trend of knife aesthetics. Our knives undergo a 45-step process that includes laser welding, grinding, polishing, and straightening of the blade by experienced craftsmen. They go through a 16-step inspection process and have a 99.85% finish rate.

The Black Hawk Series 8.5-inch Kiritsuke Chef Knife, a blend of the Japanese yanagiba knife with a vegetable cleaver, is a perfect example of our craftsmanship. It features special-forged high-carbon German stainless steel with precise vacuum heat-treatment and nitrogen cryogenic tempering, ensuring superb hardness, flexibility, and lasting performance.

Our experienced knife smiths hand sharpen the edge with the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method to be 14-16 degrees per side. The full-tang structure with triple rivets ensures balance, durability, and resilience. The ergonomic design of the handle provides a comfortable and ambidextrous hold, while the blade's shape reduces slicing resistance, making it an alternative to a normal chef knife.

The blade is hand polished to a satin finish, and the luxury imported black pakkawood handles highlight the knife's sleek and simple look. We offer a 100% satisfaction or money-back guarantee and provide a premium gift box for a high-value performance.

With TUO, you can choose from the Classic, the Upgrade, or the Design you desire. Visit our store to experience the craftsmanship and quality that we offer.
