HIOKAMI B20 Chef

Hiokami B20 – 67 Layers Damascus Steel

The Hiokami B20 series represents modern Damascus steel at its finest. The blade is crafted from 67-layer Damascus Steel with a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core. With a hardness of 60 ±1 HRC, its durability and edge retention are ensured through vacuum heat treatment and deep freeze processing.

A special feature of this knife is the Pakkawood handle – natural wood that has been resin-impregnated and laminated. It combines the beauty and feel of real wood with enhanced durability, far surpassing ordinary wood. The handle sits exceptionally well in the hand, making this model one of my personal favorites.

The blade is designed at the ideal hardness level: it remains durable while still being easy to sharpen with standard whetstones.

The finish is exceptionally high quality – especially for this price range. Every detail, fit, and finish shows that this is not a mass product, but a carefully crafted tool.

Weighing just over 200 g, the knife feels sturdy but not cumbersome. It doesn’t feel flimsy, yet works equally well in smaller hands – striking the perfect balance.

NOTE!

A quality knife requires the treatment it deserves. Do not wash the knife in a washing machine. After use, wash with warm water. Dry in a towel and store in a magnet or knife rack. Do not twist anything with the knife, and the general recommendation is that it not be used to cut sticks, bones, or frozen meat. This will avoid chipping the blade and breaking the tip.
