Past and Present
Two chefs with a passion for Japanese knife craftsmanship began their journey in 2015 to create the perfect chef's knife.
We sourced top-quality steel from Japan and repurposed wood from local carpentry shops. Collaborating with a skilled artisan, we turned our designs into reality. Thanks to modern tools, we now produce these exceptional knives at scale and are excited to share our success with the world.
Forging
We craft our Damascus blades using multiple layers of heated steel, a technique that demands years of mastery to achieve their captivating beauty. Our AUS10 Steel, meticulously manufactured by the esteemed Aichi Steel Company in Japan, forms the core of our blades. These AUS10 steel blades are frequently shielded by a total of 44 layers of SUS430 and SUS431 Steel. We specifically choose AUS10 for its easy maintenance, excellent sharpness retention, and exceptional cutting performance.
Forming & Heat Treatment
Our process begins with rectifying any distortion resulting from the forging, followed by precision laser cutting of the blade to exact measurements. Subsequently, we subject the knives to a meticulous heat treatment based on our design, achieving a hardness of 61 HRC. This step is time-intensive, executed with precision and care.Lastly, we employ a cryogenic cooling process known as CRYOFREEZE, enhancing the blade's hardness, maintaining sharpness, and preventing staining. The culmination of these steps results in a blade that exemplifies durability, sharpness, and stain resistance.
Grinding
Following the heat treatment, we meticulously grind the blade to craft the desired knife shape.
Our skilled artisans, with years of dedicated practice and learning, have honed their expertise in the delicate art of grinding. This dedication ensures each knife is shaped with precision and care, meeting the highest standards of quality and design.
Final Touch
In this phase, we achieve an exceptionally sharp edge through precise grinding, finishing by hand for that razor-sharp result, the final grind is by using a stone to get the sharpness we strive for.
We maintain a 12 degree angle for optimal sharpness and cutting ability. Our knives feature vacuum-treated, hardened, and polished handle, with options for engraving and coating. Each knife undergoes rigorous quality checks before being made available for sale.
Pattern
Creating various patterns demands distinct techniques, tools, and skilled craftsmen. For our blades, we primarily utilize modern automated machines to ensure consistent and predictable outcomes, allowing us to maintain the desired quality consistently. Our commitment to quality means we never use less than 44 layers of steel for our Damascus blades. Additionally, we always incorporate a high-carbon steel core to achieve maximum sharpness, resulting in a total of 45 layers.
