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.

I’ve been using this knife for a few weeks, and it’s quickly become my favorite. It’s sharp, well-balanced, and a joy to use. The blade is precise and cuts through ingredients cleanly, though I noticed it does require frequent honing to stay sharp. The handle is well-designed and comfortable, though I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a high-quality knife that performs well in the kitchen, even if it does need a bit of maintenance.
