Material: VG1
VG1 stainless steel is renowned for its high quality and extensive use in knife making. It features exceptional hardness and is produced with advanced techniques, resulting in low impurity levels. While it can be somewhat challenging to sharpen, VG1 holds its edge significantly longer than many other steels, making it ideal for those seeking a blade that maintains sharpness over extended use.

Forging Process: Full Steel
Our knives feature full steel, or mono-steel, blades, crafted from a single type of steel from spine to edge. This manufacturing process demands expert attention to prevent the blade from becoming overly brittle or warped. The result is a knife with consistent performance and superior strength. While distinguishing high-quality mono-steel blades from lower quality ones can be challenging at a glance, our meticulous forging process ensures that each knife meets the highest standards of durability and precision, offering exceptional reliability for culinary professionals and enthusiasts.

Handle: Stainless Steel Integrated Handle
The stainless steel integrated handle of the Kirameki knife is favored by both professionals and home chefs for its ease of maintenance, often being dishwasher safe and highly durable. Crafted with precision in Seki, Japan, the handle features a frosted finish to enhance grip, preventing slips during use. This thoughtful design ensures both comfort and safety, making the Kirameki knife a reliable choice for any kitchen.
