A great knife set should feel like an extension of your hand—razor-sharp, perfectly balanced, and built to handle everything from delicate herbs to thick cuts of meat. This six-piece Japanese knife set delivers on all fronts, blending precision, durability, and design into a single, well-crafted package.

Craftsmanship at its finest
Made through over 40 meticulous steps with upgraded AUS-10V steel from Tokai, Japan. Incredibly hard, it stays sharper longer, meaning less sharpening and more precision.

Balanced for every task
Each knife's full tang design offers perfect balance and weight, making it light enough for detailed work, yet powerful enough to handle large cuts.

Unmatched value
At a fraction of the price of similar knives, it brings premium quality, edge retention, and ergonomic comfort to your kitchen without breaking the bank.

Italian Olive Wood
Italian Olive Wood is an ideal choice for knife handles, providing exceptional durability and moisture resistance due to its dense structure and natural oils. The intricate grain and rich golden hues give each handle a unique look, and its solid feel ensures a well-balanced grip. Over time, the wood develops even more character, making it both a practical and luxurious addition.

AUS-10V Steel
Crafted from AUS-10V steel by Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan, this blade features 1.05% carbon content for exceptional strength and durability. Its superior edge retention ensures a razor-sharp blade that lasts, making it ideal for precision work.

15° Dual Bevel
Hand sharpened to a precise 15° on each side, resulting in a razor-sharp edge that offers versatility for both right- and left-handed users.

Full Tang
A full tang runs the entire length of the knife, providing intentional weight and balance. This design allows the knife to tackle large tasks like cutting watermelon and meat while retaining the agility needed for fine dicing and precise knife work.

Ergonomic Hexagonal Handle
Our modern take on the traditional octagonal handle, ours is hexagonal to be more ergonomic with edges for slip free handling.

Each blade is crafted by repeatedly heating, hammering, and folding steel layers by hand. This traditional process creates distinctive wavy patterns while enhancing the blade’s strength, toughness, and flexibility. The resulting even carbon distribution reduces impurities, resulting in a durable, long-lasting sharp edge.
