Akari Damascus Print Series
Akari Damascus Print Series is designed for home chefs who appreciate both a stylish appearance and practical ease of use. The blade features a detailed damask print, inspired by traditional Damascus steel. The light pakka wood handle gives this knife a fresh, elegant look and, together with its ergonomic design, ensures optimal comfort during every cutting task.
Unique features and specifications
- 20 cm serrated blade: The long serrated blade effortlessly slices through bread with a hard crust without crushing it. It is also excellent for hard vegetables and firm fruits.
- High carbon steel: The blade is made from high-quality high carbon steel with a hardness of 60 HRC. This ensures it stays sharp for a long time and delivers excellent performance in daily use.
- Damascus print blade: The refined damask-look print gives the knife a luxurious appearance and makes it a stylish addition to any kitchen.
- Light pakka wood handle: The ergonomically shaped handle is made from high-quality light pakka wood. This provides a comfortable grip, optimal control, and an elegant finish.
- Good balance: Thanks to the balanced ratio between blade and handle, this bread knife fits comfortably in the hand. This allows you to cut with control, precision, and comfort.
- Safe construction: The bolster forms a clear separation between the handle and the blade. This offers extra safety during cutting and provides more control.
- Crafted with care: Each knife is meticulously finished and inspected to ensure the quality and performance you expect from Shinrai.

Maintenance tips and recommendations
- Hand wash: To keep your bread knife in optimal condition, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the dishwasher to preserve the sharpness of the blade and the quality of the damask print for as long as possible. Dry the knife carefully immediately after washing.
- Regular maintenance: Although a serrated blade needs less frequent sharpening, regular maintenance remains important for optimal performance and a long lifespan.
- Storage: Proper storage of your knives in a knife block or on a magnetic strip helps prevent damage to the blade and ensures the knife is always safely within reach.
- Proper cutting surface: Preferably use a wooden or plastic cutting board. These surfaces are gentle on the blade and help extend the life of your knife.

Specifications
Maintenance and Care
To keep your chef's knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good chef's knife, avoid the dishwasher, as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knife. After washing, make sure to dry it immediately and thoroughly to avoid stains.
Sharpen regularly
Use a sharpening stone, sharpening rod or sharpening steel regularly. This will help you effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.
Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also extend the life of your knives. By storing them this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
Correct substrate
Quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their life. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces the impact on the blade while cutting. Using quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.
Warranty
We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 25-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.
