Features of Kirinami serie 

This series is made by Seki Kikusui, a knife maker that has been producing knives since 1953. What started as a manufacturer of tools for local farmers and fishermen has grown into a respected producer of high-quality knives.

The knife features a three-layer steel construction (sanmai), with a VG10 steel core and a Kasumi finish. Kasumi translates from Japanese as "mist", referring to the subtle contrast between the different layers of steel. The blade is ground very thin, which is immediately noticeable in how effortlessly it glides through ingredients.

The handle is made from mahogany wood and is connected to the blade by a bolster. This gives the knife a pleasant balance and a comfortable grip during use.
