Chef knife 8” 20 cm Aka Tori Tokyo Black with engraving
It is said that this is the knife every cook should start with. The 20 cm blade handles large cuts of meat and vegetables with ease, and allows you to scoop and transfer chopped ingredients. The sharp tip enables precise trimming of meat or removing seeds from vegetables. A good kitchen should always include at least one chef’s knife – and this can be the Aka Tori. The hexagonal handle fits comfortably in the hand, even when wet.
Natural handle and finish
In this series, part of the blade steel is left unpolished and finished in black. This steel is combined with a beautiful ebony handle set in buffalo horn. All handle materials are natural, not composites or plastic. The knife feels comfortable in hand, and the hexagonal handle ensures a secure grip.
Due to the natural wood structure, the shade of each handle may vary slightly, making every piece unique.

Care instructions
Do not wash in a dishwasher. Do not leave in a sink with other utensils. After use, wash under running water and wipe the blade and handle dry. Occasionally treat the handle with a small amount of oil.
The blade angle is 15° per side. For maintaining sharpness, we recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. Ceramic rods can be used for daily maintenance.
Traditional tsuchi-me technique
Knives from the TOKYO HAMMER line feature characteristic hammer marks (Japanese tsuchi-me 槌目). In this version, the entire blade is polished. This finish is inspired by traditional forging techniques. The method is not exclusive to Japanese knives – similar hammer marks can be found in handcrafted vessels from India, China, Central Asia, Turkey, and Arab countries. Historically, polishing was time-consuming, so only parts of the blade were finished smoothly. Hammering also improved hardness and durability. Today it is mainly aesthetic, and it also helps prevent food from sticking to the blade.
