Description
Japanese knives with a distinctive, exceptional design
The Kasane kitchen knives combine traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a modern, minimalist design language. The distinctive visual concept of the series was created by Japanese artist Misa Kuromoto of the Tokyo University of the Arts. The result is a collection of knives with a subtle feminine touch and a clear, artistic aesthetic. The blades are made from Japanese stainless steel with a carbon content of 0.8 %, offering exceptional sharpness and lightness for precise, effortless cutting and long-lasting edge retention. With a balanced hardness of 58 HRC and excellent toughness, the blades remain robust and reliable for everyday use.
Wild cherry wood sourced from the mountainous Seki region
The handles are crafted from wild cherry wood sourced from trees removed during annual road construction and responsibly reclaimed rather than discarded. This approach brings together environmental awareness, craftsmanship and a distinctive aesthetic. Combined with the stainless steel ferrule, the cherry wood handles provide perfect balance with the blade and a comfortable, controlled cutting feel. Wild cherry wood is hard, dense and durable, with excellent resistance to moisture.
