Attention to Detail
Every element of our knives has been thoughtfully designed with precision. The Damascus-patterned blade, as aesthetic as it is functional, reflects Japanese artisanal heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. The carefully selected steel and flawless finishes demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to quality. Because performance alone is not enough — it is the details that define excellence.
Precision and Comfort
Designed for outstanding sharpness and perfect balance, these knives are a pleasure to use. Their ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, making every cut effortless and enjoyable.
A Handle of Superior Design
The handles are made from premium Pakkawood, a durable and aesthetically pleasing material with a natural texture that enhances grip and control during use.
Regular sharpening
To maintain precise cutting and optimal performance, frequently use a whetstone or sharpening steel. This simple routine extends the life of your knives while ensuring an incomparable cutting experience.
Hand wash only
To keep your knives in optimal condition, it is recommended to wash them by hand with warm water and mild soap. Not suitable for dishwashers, as this would reduce their lifespan. After washing, dry them immediately and thoroughly to prevent stains from forming.
Using proper storage ensures not only safety but also the longevity and performance of your knives.
Secure transport
When travelling, we recommend using our specially designed leather sheaths to protect your knives.
Drawer storage
If you prefer to store your knives in a drawer, make sure to protect them with plastic sheaths. This will prevent the blades from being damaged by contact with other utensils.
Kitchen storage
If you keep your knives in the kitchen, opt for a knife block or a magnetic strip. These solutions allow you to store your knives safely while keeping them easily accessible.
