Each elegant knife is crafted in Seki, Japan. There, artisans merge rich Japanese tradition with expert German engineering and state-of-the-art steel to produce these ultimate kitchen knives. This cutting-edge steel ensures the hand-honed blades retain their impressive sharpness for a long time. The stunning blades are finished with a true katana edge, homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago, and feature an embossed logo. Stylishly stamped with a silver mosaic pin, the exquisite octagon-shaped handle feels as good as it looks.
