[Gyuto Knife] Momiji

Vibrant autumn leaves coloring Japanese tradition. "Momiji" is an artistic kitchen knife combining supreme beauty and everyday practicality.

Crafted by master blacksmiths in Seki City and enhanced with custom art painting by Akari by Atelier Kawakami, this is a versatile Japanese Gyuto (Chef's) knife.
Featuring an original marble finish of white, gold, and red, adorned with vivid autumn leaf patterns stenciled from real maple leaves. It combines the long, versatile cutting performance of a Gyuto knife with the captivating aesthetic of fine Japanese art.

[5 Features of Momiji]
1. Real Leaf Stencil Design & Unique Marble Paint
The handle and matching sheath (saya) feature our original white, gold, and red marble finish. Painted using stencils made from real autumn leaves, the vivid red leaf designs add a striking natural elegance. Multi-layered clear coating and golden cherry blossom emblems on the sheath and blade accentuate its luxurious Japanese aesthetic.

2. Mirror-Hammered Finish to Prevent Food Sticking
The blade surface features a beautifully polished mirror-hammered (Tsuchime) finish. It gracefully reflects light while preventing ingredients from sticking, ensuring smooth and effortless chopping.

3. Rust-Resistant & Easy Daily Maintenance
Made with high-grade stainless steel (SUS420J2), this blade offers superior corrosion resistance and durability. Unlike carbon steel knives, you don't need to worry about rapid rusting—simply wash and wipe dry after use.

4. Water-Resistant & Hygienic Handle
The handle is constructed from water-resistant plywood, joined with a durable plastic ring (PC Katsura) to block moisture from entering the handle interior. Designed for long-lasting hygiene and durability.

5. Protective Japanese Magnolia Wood Sheath (Saya)
Includes a traditional sheath made from natural Japanese Magnolia wood (Hoonoki), also used for katana scabbards. Light and gentle on the edge, it naturally breathes to release moisture and protect the blade from rust. Ideal for safe transport during outdoor cooking and camping.
