A knife crafted for any occasion.
The Shun Kagerou Utility Knife 15cm brings together the heritage of Japanese blade-making and KAI’s advanced Composite Blade Technology in a compact, versatile form. Perfectly sized between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, it excels at detailed tasks such as trimming, slicing smaller cuts of meat, preparing sandwiches, and working with fruits and vegetables.
Its striking two-tone blade captures the essence of the Kagerou name, meaning “heat haze” in Japanese. A polished upper surface transitions into fine Damascus layering along the edge, offering both beauty and functionality. Forged from dual-core VG2 and VG10 steels and layered into 70 sheets, the blade delivers long-lasting sharpness, excellent food release, and durability to match its elegance.
The symmetrical grey-marbled PakkaWood handle, resin-treated for comfort and resistance to moisture, provides perfect balance in hand. Finished with a seamless bolster and forged end cap, the design ensures stability and control during intricate cuts. Presented in a premium gift box, the Kagerou Utility Knife is a refined tool for precise everyday use.

Care and Use for Shun Kagerou Knives
- Always wash knives by hand with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher, which can damage the blade and handle.
- Dry immediately. Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or corrosion.
- Use wooden, bamboo, or plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, stone, or metal surfaces to preserve the edge.
- Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to avoid damage to the blade and ensure safety.
- Maintain the 16° double-bevel edge using a whetstone. Honing with a ceramic rod can be done between sharpenings.
- Use knives only for their intended purpose—cutting food. Avoid twisting, prying, or using the blade on frozen foods, bones, or hard surfaces.
- The PakkaWood handle is durable and moisture-resistant, but prolonged soaking should be avoided.
By following these guidelines, your Shun Kagerou knives will maintain exceptional sharpness, performance, and beauty for years to come.
