Handcrafted 8 Inch Japanese Gyutou Pro Chef Knife - Kokoro Series

The Tenkumun brand is dedicated to the art of cutting, offering handcrafted blades for true masters. Forged to perfection, these knives are the result of a fusion between ancient Japanese tradition and modern American design.

Tenkumun's focus is on producing high-quality Japanese knives, committed to inheriting the ancient Japanese hand-forging techniques and blending them with contemporary American design and technology. Each Tenkumun Japanese knife undergoes meticulous quality control, with every step from material selection to the manufacturing process adhering to strict standards.

The traditional Japanese hand grinding method is used to create a perfect Convex Grinding blade edge, enabling effortless precision cutting. The Convex Grinding edge reduces the surface area contact with the object being cut, resulting in less resistance, greater durability, and improved cutting performance.

Crafted with the renowned VG-10 series super steel core and wrapped in 67-layers of Damascus steel, these blades undergo a rigorous production process. Utilizing the time-honored Japanese hand-forging techniques, the blade is struck over 1000 times at super-high temperatures, forming a unique flame rose pattern. This process enhances the blade's strength and flexibility, further reinforced by two rounds of medium-low temperature tempering and one round of ultra-low temperature deep freezing using liquid nitrogen.

The long, tapered blade gradually thins down to a finely concave ground edge, maximizing cutting efficiency and precision. Each blade is skillfully sharpened by master craftsmen, ensuring sharpness and accuracy. The unique marks left behind from the grinding process make every Tenkumun knife a one-of-a-kind work of art, showcasing true craftsmanship.

Owning a Tenkumun kitchen knife means possessing a carefully crafted piece that brings joy to the cooking experience. The Convex Grinding blade, a hallmark of traditional Japanese knives, offers superior physical performance when cutting hard and tough materials. The slightly curved edge angle aids in penetrating and removing resistance, while also reducing the risk of chipping compared to V-shaped edges.

Trust in the craftsmanship behind Tenkumun knives, where every minute detail is meticulously hand-polished, showcasing the spirit of artisanship and ensuring a flawless finish. Unleash the art of cutting with these exquisite handcrafted blades, forged to perfection in the harmony of ancient Japanese tradition and modern American design.
