The JIKKO Pearl Eye Edition is a Japanese-style kitchen knife forged from AUS-8 high-carbon stainless steel and hand-sharpened to a 15° edge. Its signature hollow-ground blade pattern is meant to reduce drag, and the natural abalone shell handle makes each knife visually unique. It suits cooks who want a sharp, light-cutting all-rounder for meat, fish and vegetables and who value a showpiece handle. Against mass-market stainless knives it offers a keener edge angle and more distinctive looks, but AUS-8 needs more care than common European stainless and the shell handle is not for everyone. Buyers rate it highly, at 4.9 from 802 ratings.

Owners rate the Pearl Eye Edition very highly, at 4.9 from 802 ratings, and praise its sharpness out of the box and the look of the abalone handle. Some note that the thin, high-angle edge and shell handle demand more care than a standard kitchen knife.
The Pearl Eye Edition is a signature knife from JIKKO. The blade is forged from AUS-8 Japanese high-carbon stainless steel. It is hand-polished and sharpened to a 15° Japanese edge for slicing meat, fish, or vegetables.
The blade has a hollow-ground pattern inspired by the motion of the ocean. The pattern reduces drag and gives more control while cutting. The steel has a hardness of 58–59 HRC and holds its edge up to 3 times longer than standard stainless steel knives.
The handle is made of natural abalone shell (mother-of-pearl). Each handle is one of a kind, with iridescent tones that shift in the light. It is ergonomically shaped for a secure, comfortable grip. The knife is made for both professional chefs and home cooks.
