Our History

The story of Kaitsuko, Japanese knives

In order for you to know more about us, as well as our company Kaitsuko , we believe it is essential to explain how our passion moved to the design stage.

Our story began on the school benches. We were two friends passionate about cutlery and Japanese culture . Together, we studied at length the different manufacturing techniques, and especially the different steels capable of meeting our needs in terms of cooking . We naturally leaned towards Damascus steel.

Why Damascus steel?

Simply because this manufacturing technique involving forging seemed to us to be the most qualitative . Damascus is a steel refining technique that gives the steel a very fine structure and great resistance . It is also very beautiful , which makes it an excellent choice for knife makers and collectors .​​​​​​​​​​

We went there, in Asia, to find professional craftsmen . They shared with us their manufacturing technique and demonstrated through multiple tests that the quality of this type of steel was impeccable.

Following this, we studied the different materials available to create sublime ergonomic handles , and we set up our different collections.

We offer you:

• Japanese Santoku Knife - The Best All-Purpose Japanese Knife
• Japanese Gyuto Knife - Best Japanese Chef Knife
• Japanese Nakiri Knife - Best Vegetable Cutter
• Deba Japanese Knife - Best Fish Filleting Knife

For several years now, we have been offering you quality ranges available for all budgets. We have specific collections ranging from amateur to professional needs.

Our know-how and quality have been recognized and proven. As such, many companies have already agreed to partner with us. At the same time, we have produced a short film that was broadcast on one of the biggest French channels: M6 . Many chefs now use our knives and promote our brand.

So, what if you were the next French starred chef? Because yes, a good chef cannot be one without quality knives . Don't wait any longer!
