FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Okura titanium cookware.

Unlike mass-produced knives that prioritize softness for easy manufacturing, Okura knives are crafted from high-performance steel and refined with a thinner edge geometry.

The result is improved cutting precision, cleaner slices, and better long-term edge retention — designed for control rather than weight.

Not at all.

With proper use and regular honing, the blade maintains its sharpness over time. Occasional professional sharpening will restore peak performance when needed.

Like all quality knives, hand washing and proper drying are recommended.

Each knife features a hardened performance core designed for strength and edge retention.

Depending on the model, this may include high-carbon stainless steel or a VG-10 steel core.

The blade is hardened to approximately HRC 60–62, balancing sharpness with durability.

This hardness allows for a thinner cutting angle while maintaining structural integrity.

The edge is refined to approximately 12°–15° per side.

This narrower angle allows for more precise, effortless slicing compared to conventional Western-style knives.

Each knife is precision-forged and finished for balance and stability.

The full tang construction ensures strength from heel to tip.

These knives are designed for precision slicing of vegetables, meats, and fish.

They are not intended for cutting through bones or frozen foods. For those tasks, a cleaver or heavy-duty blade is recommended.

Hand washing is recommended to preserve edge sharpness and handle longevity.

Dishwashers can accelerate wear on both blade and handle materials.

We ship knives not perfectly sharpened due to shipping rules.

With normal home use, sharpening is only needed occasionally.

Regular honing will help maintain alignment between sharpenings.
