9.5-Inch Chef Knife for Daily Kitchen Work
This Kessaku chef knife suits home cooks and professionals who want a single blade for slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing. The 9.5-inch length covers most prep tasks while the curved profile supports a rocking motion. AUS-10V steel hardened to 62+ HRC holds a keen edge through repeated use.
Check Handle Preference and Care Routine
Verify that a full-tang G10 handle with triple rivets feels comfortable in your grip before ordering. The blade is hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle per side and requires hand washing, immediate drying and dry storage to prevent corrosion. No dishwasher use is advised.
67-Layer Damascus Steel Holds Edge Well
The 67-layer AUS-10V construction delivers a hard, corrosion-resistant blade that stays sharp during normal kitchen sessions. Balance between blade and handle reduces hand fatigue during extended prep. Hand washing and prompt drying keep the sanitary G10 handle free of moisture buildup.

Questions about this item
Does the box include a sheath or sharpening stone, or must they be purchased separately?
The knife ships with the blade, full-tang G10 handle and triple-rivet construction; no sheath, stone or honing rod is listed, so those would be separate purchases.
Should I choose the 9.5-inch AUS-10V version or a different length for general kitchen prep?
The 9.5-inch blade with 67-layer Damascus AUS-10V steel at 62+ HRC covers slicing, dicing, chopping and disjointing large cuts, matching the classic 8-to-10-inch chef's knife range.
What does the 16-degree edge angle mean for daily cutting performance?
A 16-degree angle per side gives a thin, keen edge that stays sharp longer on the 62+ HRC AUS-10V steel, reducing effort on vegetables, meat and fish while requiring hand-washing and careful storage.
