HANDCRAFTED FROM SUPERIOR STEEL

Razor sharp. Lasting edge retention.

Crafted from premium hard steel and meticulously hand finished, our knives feature a thinner, sharper edge that glides through ingredients with minimal effort.

The blades hold a razor sharp edge significantly longer than Western knives made from softer steel, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.

GENUINE DAMASCUS

Layered steel naturally patterned through hammering

The hammering subtly distorts each layer, creating unique flowing patterns with striking visual depth. No two blades are exactly alike, each carries its own individual character.

STABILIZED WOOD HANDLES

Natural Birch enhanced

Each handle is made from birch wood impregnated with dyed resin throughout the mass, strengthening the material from within while giving it its deep green tone. The result preserves the natural grain and warmth of real wood, offering improved resistance to moisture and movement while maintaining an organic, authentic feel in hand.

All products in our catalog are designed in house, from the materials to the overall design and packaging.

+

Are these knives used in professional kitchens?

Some professionals choose our knives for their harder steel and long lasting edge retention, especially for precise and repetitive cutting.

That said, our knives use natural wood handles, which require more care than composite materials. For this reason, they are best suited to professionals who are comfortable with proper maintenance, as well as serious home cooks.
