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.

+
Who designs and makes your products?
All products in our catalog are designed in house, from the materials to the overall design and packaging.
Production is carried out by specialized workshops selected for their expertise, working to our specifications and quality standards. Each product is inspected by us before packaging, and any item that does not fully meet our standards is rejected or reworked.
+
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.
