Named after the Japanese word for "illumination," the masterfully crafted, award-winning knives in the Hikari collection are distinguished by their stunning birch PakkaWood handles and "hornet's nest" blade pattern. Each knife edge is exceptionally sharp and long-lasting, with microserrations that reduce friction for clean slicing and chopping. Hand made in Japan from high-carbon stainless steel, this serrated utility knife excels at cutting everything from soft-skinned tomatoes to crusty bread.
