1. MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP - Handcrafted in Sakai, Japan, where more than 90% of Japanese professional chef knives are produced. It is produced one at a time manually by highly skilled master artisans. It outperforms industrially mass produced products from every aspect. The master craftsmanship shines through in every single product. The unparalleled performances make you feel standing at the pinnacle of cooking! Sheath is sold separately.
2. RAZOR SHARPNESS - Ready to use out of the box with ruthless sharpness. The core is the newly developed high carbon stainless steel ZA18 (HRC 62-63) produced in Japan, which is extremely durable. Combined with 69 layer clad Damascus construction, it gives exceptional sharpness, edge retention, durability, and ease of sharpening at the same time. You can easily feel your upgraded technique level just by using a Syosaku Knife. Hand wash only and regularly sharpen on quality whetstones.
3. VERSATILITY - Ideal for everyday chefs handling daily kitchen tasks, whether professional or non-professional. You can cut, dice, slice, mince, and chop with one knife. You can cut meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, and more. You can use it as a sushi knife too. It is double-edged, so it doesn't matter if you are right-handed or left-handed. To avoid a chip in a blade, don't chop hard stuff like bones, nutshells, and frozen foods. Do not use on granite countertops.
4. DURABILITY AND EASE OF USE - The high chromium content of the ZA18 alloy combined with the outer Damascus steel realizes extreme stain & corrosion resistance. The material used for the handle is taken from the center core of Magnolia wood, which is water-resistant and non-slip. You don't have to worry when it's left wet during use (recommended to wash and dry after the use). The ergonomically designed Octagonal handle and perfectly balanced construction make you comfortable even for long-time use.
5. AESTHETICS AND 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - An exquisite outer steel not only eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking, but also the beauty makes your cooking more enjoyable. The Japanese-style Magnolia wood handle with a beautiful Water Buffalo Horn bolster (color may vary) adds more visual accents. Impress your guests with stunning beauty. It's a perfect gift for your loved ones too. If you don't love our Syosaku Knife, please return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
High carbon content combined with special production techniques gives exceptional hardness (HRC 62-63) to the core. The hardness allows the thinner blade edge, resulting in razor sharpness. High chromium content and other alloy components realize extreme stain & corrosion resistance. The hard ZA18 is clad in softer stainless steel. This gives the blade an added toughness and durability, as well as stunning Damascus beauty. Handcrafted in Sakai, Japan, where the master craftsmanship has been handed down from generation to generation for centuries.

"Urushi," a Japanese word derived from the fusion of two terms—uruwashi, meaning beautiful and pleasant, and uruosu, meaning moist and luxurious—is a resin extracted from the Rhus verniciflua plant. The lacquer is used to protect and decorate a wide array of objects, blending art and functionality. And it’s precisely this combination that struck me most about the Syosaku Urushi plate. The lacquered surface is smooth and delicate to the touch, while its deep gloss is hypnotic to look at—a pleasure that captivates both sight and touch.
Objects coated with thin layers of Urushi lacquer embody the pinnacle of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This harmonious fusion reaches extraordinary levels with Syosaku’s plate design. The gold leaf’s sheen is mesmerizing, with a unique color intensity made possible by the slightly undulating surface of the plate. These elements combine to create a point of light on the dining table, adding a unique radiance to the dishes served on these exquisite Japanese artisan plates.

Beautiful and easy to handle, the 7-inch (180mm) Japanese Gyuto chef knife is a true gem, an all-purpose
knife perfect for use with meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, chocolate, and much more.
With its ultra-sharp blade, this 7-inch (180mm) Gyuto by Syosaku is made of stainless steel, which means
it has enhanced resistance to corrosion. That’s not all; this knife also features a molybdenum and
vanadium coating, an exceptional choice that provides this tool with excellent hardness. The super
ergonomic handle design makes it pleasant and agile in hand.
Like all Syosaku products, this knife is a high-quality tool, meticulously crafted down to the smallest

Top quality from tip to tip. Beautiful to behold and precision cutting…it really does not get any better than this.
This work of art that doubles as a cutting device is amazing. I thoroughly love to create wonderful food in the kitchen using my Syosaku Japanese knives and will be adding to my collection over time. These knives are simply the best.
This knife was made by someone who knows what they’re doing and is pround of what they do. When I use these knifes, that pride exudes to me, I love using them and making wonderful food with them and will eventually phase out my old Wusthofs for this style, entirely. They’re well balanced, have a good and comfortable grip and are beautiful to behold, and yah, they cut beautifully, as well.
Japanese knife from Syosaku-Japan. I must honestly say that once you get your hands on a Japanese kitchen knife, I have no doubt that I will never use any other knife again.
First of all it has an excellent design and an ergonomic handle. I immediately noticed a very sharp and very thin blade so also very light. It has a solid blade with a razor thread, an excellent slicer that can also be used for shredding. The cut is precise without overflows, the rigidity of the blade allows even deep cuts. I found the knife balanced and easy to use. I find it very useful for slicing meat and fish. Excellent quality/price.

Es muy pracatico y util
Delivered on time or sooner and is very sharp I could sure tell the difference between this knife and my others.
My Syosaku Nakiri has become my go-to knife for chopping vegetables. The magnolia wood handle feels great in my hand and the sharp, wide blade makes quick work of slicing large squash, chopping carrots or dicing onions. I also love how elegant it looks just hanging on my knife strip.
