Why you'll love it
Long, clean slices with the Takumi Kiritsuke.
The angled tip handles the fine work, and the long flat section takes a fish fillet or a courgette apart in one pull. It suits cooks who already feel at home with a chef's knife.
The Takumi has an olivewood handle, and every grain is different. A VG10 steel core sits inside the Damascus layers, hardened to 60-62 HRC, so the edge stays sharp for a long time between sharpenings.
It arrives in its own gift box and comes with a lifetime warranty.

67 layers of DamascusWhy it cuts like this
Built around the steel
Every blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a high carbon core, then hardened to 60-62 HRC. That is why it bites into a tomato skin instead of sliding over it, and why it holds its edge long after a supermarket knife has given up.

Good to know
Care, delivery and the warranty, in plain language. Still stuck? We answer every email.
How do I keep it sharp?
Hand wash your knife and dry it right after use, that alone keeps the edge in shape far longer. Hone it every few weeks and put it on a whetstone a few times a year, depending on how much you cook.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Detergent and heat dull the edge and damage the handle. Hand wash only, then dry it thoroughly.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Every Galaxy knife is covered for life against defects in material and workmanship. Something wrong with your blade? Send us a photo and we sort it out.
How fast is delivery?
Delivery is free on every order. It goes out tracked with Royal Mail and arrives in 1 to 4 working days. You get a tracking link by email as soon as it leaves.
Can I return it?
Yes. You have 200 days to send it back. Once it arrives in its original condition you get your money back within 14 days. Return postage is on you, unless the knife is defective. Then we cover it.
Does it arrive gift ready?
Yes. Every knife ships in a gift box, so it is ready to hand over as it is.
