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 offers excellent value. It’s sharp, well-made, and does exactly what I need it to do in the kitchen. The blade holds its edge reasonably well, though it does require regular maintenance to keep it performing at its best. The handle is well-designed and feels good in the hand, though it can get a bit slippery if it gets wet. Overall, it’s a solid knife that’s well worth the price, even if it does require a bit of upkeep to maintain its sharpness.

This knife performs exactly as I hoped it would. It’s sharp, easy to handle, and has a nice weight to it. 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.
