Description and technical specifications
The Kaito Collection trio, accompanied by the two accessories that matter in everyday use. A chef knife for heavy cuts, a Santoku for everything else and a paring knife for fine work — all in hammered 10CR15CoMoV steel at 60 HRC with a hand-polished pakkawood handle. The honing steel maintains the edge between sharpenings, the finger guard guides the blade and protects the hand. Everything you need to fully equip a kitchen in a single set.
What's in the Set
- 1 Kaito chef knife (200 g): the ultimate all-rounder. Meat, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit — it handles everything.
- 1 Kaito Santoku (191 g): wide blade and harmonious silhouette for chopping, slicing and dicing, equally at home on crunchy vegetables and tender meats.
- 1 Kaito paring knife (86 g): compact and agile for peeling, trimming, hollowing and detailed cutting with precision.
- 1 honing steel: 20 cm stainless steel rod, ergonomic handle. A few light strokes realign the edge and keep the blade sharp day after day.
- 1 stainless steel 304 finger guard: 6.5 x 4.5 cm, adjustable ring, for right- and left-handed users. It secures the fingers and acts as a guide for even julienne and brunoise cuts.
Why the Kaito Collection?
Kaito blades are forged in 10CR15CoMoV stainless steel — a carbon-rich, cobalt-enhanced steel hardened to 60 HRC for an edge that lasts. The hammered finish gives the blade its visual signature and reduces food sticking during cutting. The hand-polished pakkawood handle fits comfortably in the hand and resists kitchen moisture. Three knives, one single standard: precision of cut, without effort.
Care and Maintenance
For everyday use, a few light strokes on the honing steel to realign the edge. When the cut weakens, sharpen on a whetstone maintaining the original angle. Hand wash and dry immediately for both knives and accessories: the dishwasher damages the steel, the handle wood and the polished finish of the finger guard. Work on a wooden chopping board and avoid bones, frozen food and twisting motions.

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.
