Blade Geometry & Steel

The Kessaku KES12082 is a fixed-blade knife forged from ThyssenKrupp German 1.4116 stainless steel. It is precision-forged and nitrogen-cooled to achieve a Rockwell Hardness of 58. Each blade is hand-sharpened using the traditional Japanese 3-stage Honbazuke method to a 16° angle per side for clean, precise cuts and strong edge retention.

Handle & Tang Check

The knife features a G10 fiber-resin handle that is impact-resistant and nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture. Its seamless construction prevents debris infiltration. Buyers should verify the triple-rivet, full-tang design matches their preference for a secure, permanent bond between handle and steel.

Kitchen Role & Maintenance

This model serves as an 8-inch bread knife within the Dynasty Series. The added chromium in the steel provides enhanced corrosion and rust resistance for a lifetime of use. The ergonomic design offers ample knuckle clearance for superior control and agility during slicing tasks. It is not suited for buyers needing a flexible boning blade or a compact paring knife for intricate detail work.

Questions about this item

Does the KES12082 arrive with a sheath or only the knife?

The box contains the fixed-blade knife itself; no sheath or additional accessories are mentioned.

Is the 16° edge angle better for slicing bread than a wider angle?

The 16° per side angle is hand-sharpened using the Japanese Honbazuke method for clean, precise cuts and strong edge retention.

How does the 58 HRC hardness affect daily kitchen use?

Rockwell 58 provides maximum strength, flexibility and blade-edge durability so the edge stays sharp through repeated slicing tasks.
