About Damashiro EMPEROR®
Damashiro EMPEROR® layers a hand-hammered tsuchime finish over a Damascus-inspired pattern — the hammering helps release thin slices of food and reduces drag. Each 420J2 blade is ice-hardened and leather-sharpened using centuries-old techniques; the hidden-tang construction is fitted with an elegant hexagonal dark-walnut pakkawood handle, specially treated for durability, water resistance and antibacterial qualities.
