Uwith is selling an exclusive cooking knife inspired by the ultrahard steel blades from Attack on Titan. This knife is created in collaboration with NiNJA, a renowned knife brand from Seki City, a world-famous knife production area.
Each blade is attached by hand by craftsmen, to create a double-edged attachment. The blade is made of molybdenum vanadium steel, known for its ease of maintenance and long-lasting sharpness. It is coated with titanium to enhance the wear resistance of the base material.
The knife is also designed to resemble the equipment used by the Survey Corps in Attack on Titan. The blade features diagonal lines engraved into it, reminiscent of the ultra-hard blades from the series. The handle design is designed to reproduce the look of the original weapons, complete with the Wings of Freedom logo symbolizing the Survey Corps. However, the blade cannot be replaced or ejected like the blades from the anime
You can watch the promotional video on YouTube. It first shows the knife when it is not in use on the cutting board. After that, it is shown being used to cut fruit, meat, and vegetables.
An important manufacturing process involves vacuum hardening, which ensures uniform hardness of the blade. The NiNJA logo is engraved on the back of the blade.
The knife is priced at 19,800 Yen tax included, which is about $126.16, and is available for purchase in Japan. Kodansha handles the Attack on Titan manga outside of Japan. Meanwhile, the anime adaptation is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
