Hideo Yamada Knives Line Up

Crafted for Precision and Durability

Each knife is forged using VG10 stainless steel, a premium material celebrated for its sharpness and easy maintenance. Skilled artisans hand-polish every blade, creating distinctive ripple-like surface patterns — no two knives are ever alike.

The blades feature a 32-layer Damascus structure, with a hard steel core sandwiched between softer layers. This unique construction ensures exceptional durability, prevents chipping or bending, and maintains sharpness even after extended use.

Designed for Comfort

The handle’s subtle wave-shaped contour naturally fits your fingers, offering a secure, anti-slip grip for both right- and left-handed users. This thoughtful design provides excellent balance and control, reducing fatigue during long use.
