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.

  1. Rui S. (verified owner)

    Fast shipping and a beautiful knife. It’s sharp, balanced, and a pleasure to use.

  2. Alec V. (verified owner)

    This knife is a solid choice for any kitchen. It’s sharp, durable, 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.
