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’m very pleased with this knife. It’s sharp and well-balanced, making it a reliable tool in my kitchen. The blade is great for everything from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it could be a bit more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that’s become a staple in my kitchen.

This knife is a great addition to my kitchen. It’s versatile and handles a variety of tasks well, from slicing meat to chopping vegetables. The sharpness of the blade is impressive, but I did notice it dulls a bit quicker than I’d like, requiring more frequent sharpening. The handle is ergonomically designed and comfortable to hold, though it can get a bit slippery when wet. Despite these minor issues, it’s a well-made knife that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

I’m impressed with how sharp this knife is. It’s made cooking more enjoyable and efficient, allowing me to prep ingredients quickly and easily. The design is sleek and modern, and the knife feels well-balanced in hand. However, I did notice that the blade tends to dull a bit quicker than I’d like, so it requires more frequent sharpening. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could benefit from a slightly more ergonomic design for better long-term use. Overall, it’s a great knife that delivers good performance, even if it needs regular maintenance.
