Why the Kaito collection

Kaito blades are forged from 10CR15CoMoV stainless steel, a high-carbon, cobalt-enriched steel hardened to 60 HRC for an edge that lasts. The hammered finish gives the blade its visual signature and reduces food sticking while cutting. The hand-polished pakkawood handle fits comfortably in the hand and resists kitchen humidity. Three knives, one standard: precise cutting without effort.

Care

When the cut starts to weaken, draw the blade a few times through the professional knife sharpener, from heel to tip and without sawing back and forth: first the middle slot for regular maintenance, then the finishing slot. Hand-wash and dry immediately, for the knives as well as the accessories: the dishwasher damages the steel, the wooden handle and the polished finish of the finger guard. Work on a wooden board and avoid bones, frozen food and twisting movements.

OUR MISSION

Discover the perfect fusion of Japanese tradition and contemporary design with our Kaito collection. Each knife is crafted to deliver exceptional cutting performance, featuring a hammered 440C stainless steel blade that combines precision, durability, and elegance.

Beyond its refined appearance, the hammered pattern is more than a visual detail—it creates tiny air pockets between the blade and the food, following an ancestral Japanese technique. This reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade, resulting in a smoother and more efficient cut.

The pakkawood handle, enhanced with a subtle red accent, offers a comfortable, ergonomic, and stable grip. Designed for demanding chefs and passionate home cooks alike, Kaito knives turn every slice into a fluid, precise experience.
