Value Buy Kuro Series Knife Set & Chuka Bocho Cleaver Solution [03XJM2Z7]

Presenting our hardest blades ever, the Kamikoto Kuro Series knives, with superior edge retention.

Kuro is Japanese for black.

The Kuro Series knives are extremely sharp and made out of zirconium dioxide. These knives are intended for trained professionals only. Zirconium dioxide is an extremely hard material that maintains superior edge retention and an extremely sharp edge. Due to the hardness of the blade, the knives may chip or snap if excessive pressure is applied improperly to the knife's flat surface. Do not use the Kuro series knives for carving or boning cuts of meat, or to cut hard or frozen items or apply force to the side of the blade to crush garlic or other items, as this involves twisting and flexing the blade, which Kuro series knives should not be used for. Do not consume any food prepared in the event the blade is improperly used or chips.

With the right care, Kamikoto knives can last many generations. Hand wash and dry thoroughly before storage.

Bringing together Asian culinary tradition and legendary Japanese craftsmanship, the Kamikoto Chuka Bocho cleaver is the heaviest blade in the Kamikoto collection. Its substantial heft and weight can crush through the hardest bones and toughest cuts. It is a handcrafted steel blade with a 7.5-inch cutting edge used for slicing, chopping, mincing and crushing. Made from high-grade steel from Ibaraki, Japan – renowned for its durability and resistance to corrosion – the blade goes through a rigorous quality assurance process, and is tested to ensure it meets the distinction and caliber of Kamikoto 神箏.

Each blade comes in an ash wood box for storage and safekeeping, complete with an individually signed certificate of authenticity. Experience a thousand-year heritage of Japanese blade mastery with the Kamikoto Chuka Bocho.
