Miraiden 210 mm Kokkekniv AUS-10

Miraiden [mee-rai-den] is a series of knives produced in Sakai, Osaka. Behind this name are three knifemakers who have all apprenticed under Keichii Fuji (Mr. Fujii), the man behind the iconic Fujii knives.

The blade is constructed of three layers of steel, a core of AUS-10 with a hardness of approximately 60 HRC surrounded on each side by one layer of softer stainless steel. The blade is hand-ground in profile and has good cutting properties.

The handle is a classic Japanese octagonal WA handle made of magnolia wood with a buffalo horn ferrule.

This knife is a chef's knife of 21 cm - the most common size. It is a very versatile knife that can handle most universal needs. Use it for both chopping vegetables and meat.
