Chef Knife 8” 20 cm Kyoto Olive Aka Tori with engraving
This knife is for those who want a Japanese-style kitchen knife but do not want to worry about sharpening and maintenance. The lower carbon content (0.9%) makes the knife more forgiving during everyday use. If you accidentally hit a pot edge or kitchen surface, the blade remains in good condition and is less brittle. The higher chromium content increases resistance to acids and corrosion.
Natural handle and finish
A combination of two trends, this line should appeal even to those who are not fond of traditional Japanese knife aesthetics. They are lightweight both visually and physically. Light olive wood paired with polished steel. The 67-layer Damascus pattern is visible yet subtle. The core is 9CR18Mov steel with hardness 60–62 HRC. The olive wood handle is a natural material widely used in kitchen accessories. The handle is reinforced with a steel end cap for durability.
Due to the natural wood structure, each handle may slightly vary in color, making every piece unique.
Lifetime service
The Kyoto Olive line comes with a full lifetime warranty. As a Polish brand, we take responsibility for the durability of natural wood. With minimal care, the knife will serve you for years.
Elegant packaging – ready-made premium gift
Each knife comes in an elegant premium gift box, making it a perfect gift for weddings, anniversaries or birthdays.
Care instructions
The Aka Tori Kyoto Olive knives are easy to maintain and sharpen. Do not wash in a dishwasher. After use, wash under running water and dry the blade and handle thoroughly. Occasionally treat the wooden handle with a small amount of olive oil.
The 13–14° edge angle per side is best maintained using whetstones. For regular maintenance, ceramic rods or honing steels can be used.
