Masterfully forged from professional-grade High-Carbon Steel, the Kitakami Collection features individually forged kitchen knives that are built to last so that you never need another kitchen knife set again.
High-Carbon Steel, which was once the metal of choice of Japanese swordsmiths, has been exploding in popularity due to its added hardiness and sharpness, to such a degree that high-carbon steel has become the premier choice of many professional chefs.
Each Kitakami knife is carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection for razor-sharp cutting and extreme durability. The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.
The knives boast a 15° edge for superior cutting, as compared to a typical 20-25° edge found in most Western knives. You WILL feel the difference from the very first cut.

This knife is a great addition to my kitchen. It’s sharp, sturdy, and handles a variety of tasks with ease. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require regular sharpening to stay in top condition. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these minor drawbacks, it’s a great knife that’s well worth the investment.

This knife performs beautifully. It’s sharp and sturdy, and the handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use. I’ve used it for everything from chopping vegetables to slicing through thick cuts of meat, and it has handled each task with ease. The only downside is that the blade seems to lose its edge a bit faster than expected, so it requires regular honing to stay sharp. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that’s worth having in any kitchen, though it does require a bit of maintenance.
