SPECTRE SERIES - Gorgeous. Elegant. Ferociously formidable with unparalleled craftsmanship.

Expertly designed by our master artisans, the Spectre Series knives are a masterpiece of utility and art. They feature perfectly balanced and ergonomic grips for amazing comfort and safety, shockingly sharp cutting edges, and a design that reflects centuries of traditional Japanese knife-making techniques combined with cutting-edge nitrogen-cooled forging.

THE BLADE

Relentlessly sharp, our Spectre Series blades are crafted from our specially formulated High-Carbon Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel, enhancing both corrosion resistance and non-stick properties. These Precision Forged, Nitrogen Cooled blades are individually handcrafted and hand-sharpened by our virtuoso technicians using the traditional 3-stage Honbazuke method to achieve a 14° per side angle. Their Rockwell Hardness of 58 ensures maximum strength, flexibility, and blade edge durability, providing clean, precise cuts and amazing edge retention.

WONDROUS COMFORT

When you first grip the handle, it feels as if it were made for you specifically. The traditional Japanese D-Shape is designed to tuck perfectly into your palm for unrivaled comfort and control. The Mirror-Polished Black Spanish Pakkawood Handle features a mosaic pin of brass and copper, with amazingly superior Full Tang Strength for safe and precise use. The seamless build ensures no dirt or debris can infiltrate its body, making it nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture.
