Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Bread Knife パン切りナイフ
The Tokachi 8" Damascus Steel Bread Knife combines striking design with professional-grade performance to create an essential tool for every discerning kitchen. From its rippling Damascus blade to its artfully crafted handle, every detail reflects refinement and strength.
67-Layer VG10 Damascus Excellence
At the core of the Tokachi lies a premium Japanese VG10 steel core, clad in 33 layers of Damascus steel on each side. This 67-layer construction, hardened to HRC 62, delivers exceptional edge retention and long-lasting sharpness. The finely serrated 15° edge glides through crusty loaves and delicate pastries alike, ensuring clean, effortless slices every time.
Resin and Hardwood Handle
The handle is a distinctive blend of shimmering resin and richly figured hardwood, creating a unique marbled pattern in every piece. Waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant and non-slip, it provides a firm yet comfortable grip, even during long baking sessions.
Elegant Craftsmanship and Lasting Performance
Ergonomically shaped in a modern oval profile, the handle balances perfectly with the blade’s weight, allowing smooth, controlled movements. Built to meet professional standards, the Tokachi is designed to retain its performance and beauty for years, making it the only bread knife you will ever need.
The handle is waterproof, antibacterial, heat-resistant, and non-slip; it confers a firm yet comfortable grip to make your cutting, dicing, slicing, chopping as effortless as possible.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises—just razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15°—compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives—our blades allow for smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.
