The Ikiru Series Chopper Knife embodies unmatched strength, precision, and timeless elegance, designed for chefs who demand performance without compromise. Forged from 67 layers of AUS-10 Damascus steel, the blade delivers exceptional durability, edge retention, and a striking Damascus pattern that transforms each knife into a unique work of art. With a hardness rating of 60±1 HRC, it strikes the perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility, ensuring both powerful chopping and refined precision. Enhanced by vacuum heat treatment and deep freeze processing, the blade resists corrosion while maintaining long-lasting sharpness and reliability.

Performance

Built for versatility and control, the Ikiru Chopper tackles dense root vegetables, thick cuts of meat, and demanding chopping tasks with effortless ease. Its broad blade provides both strength for heavy-duty work and accuracy for refined slicing, making it an indispensable tool in any professional or home kitchen.

Handle Design

Crafted from premium walnut wood, the Western-style handle perfectly complements the blade’s performance and durability. Known for its warm tones and resilience, walnut offers a secure and comfortable grip. The heavier, more substantial profile improves stability and control, making it ideal for chefs who favor precision with power. Its sophisticated design and natural beauty elevate both function and aesthetics.
