8-Inch Japanese Chef Knife

The HOSHANHO 8-inch chef knife is forged from Japanese 10Cr15CoMoV steel hardened to 60 HRC. It is designed for home cooks and professional chefs who want a single, versatile blade for daily prep work.

High-Carbon Steel Capacity and Edge Retention

The 60 HRC hardness holds a keen 13-degree edge through extended chopping, slicing and dicing of fruits, vegetables and meat. The high-carbon alloy resists rust, though acidic foods should be wiped promptly to avoid surface discolouration.

Magnetic Rubberwood Sheath Limits

The included Rubberwood sheath measures 11.17 by 2.2 by 0.47 inches and secures the blade with a magnetic closure. It protects the edge during storage but is not waterproof; prolonged moisture can warp the wood and weaken the magnet.

Questions about this item

Will the 8-inch blade and 60 HRC hardness feel similar to my older high-carbon knives?

The 10Cr15CoMoV steel at 60 HRC holds an edge longer than softer steels, so you will sharpen less often while the 13° bevel gives a familiar but finer bite.

How can I verify the 13° edge angle is correct after I unpack it?

A sheet of paper should slice cleanly with almost no pressure, and a tomato skin will part without sawing — both indicate the factory 13° angle per side is intact.

Does the box include the Rubberwood sheath with magnetic closure, or must I buy it separately?

The knife ships inside the classic gift box with the 11.17 × 2.2 × .47 inch Rubberwood sheath already included; no separate purchase is needed.
