Kayaki Knife "Kaede" – Santoku Kitchen Knife

The Kayaki Knife "Kaede" is a handcrafted Santoku kitchen knife, designed for versatile use in everyday cooking. Originating from Nagasaki, Japan, Kayaki knives are the result of over 400 years of traditional blacksmithing techniques passed down through generations since the Edo period.

Notice

1. Wash and dry immediately after use.
As the blade is made from high-carbon steel (Shirogami #2), it is prone to rust.
After each use, hand-wash with mild detergent and thoroughly dry with a soft cloth.

2. Do not use a dishwasher or dryer.
High heat and harsh detergents may damage both the blade and the handle.
Always wash by hand and store in a dry place.

3. Avoid cutting hard or frozen items.
Kayaki knives are precision tools. Do not use them on bones, frozen foods, or hard shells, as this may cause chipping or damage.

4. Apply a thin coat of oil for long-term storage.
If the knife will not be used for an extended period, lightly oil the blade with food-safe oil and wrap it in paper or cloth to prevent rust.

5. Have the blade professionally sharpened when necessary.
To maintain optimal performance, we recommend using a trusted sharpening service or a skilled craftsman.

With proper care, your Kayaki knife can last a lifetime—and become even more beautiful with age.

Kayaki Knife "Oni" [鬼]– Deba Kitchen Knife

A 400-year legacy, forged in silence and trusted by lords.
Kayaki knives trace their origins to the early Edo period, when master smiths began forging blades in a small coastal village of Nagasaki.
The local spring water and sacred clay used in the hardening process gave rise to blades of exceptional durability and balance.
Historically, these knives were presented to feudal lords—valued not only for their sharpness, but for their reliability in every cut.
Each blade is forged from Shirogami #2 high-carbon steel and shaped with a distinctive arch designed to fit the middle finger perfectly.
The result is a knife that feels less like a tool and more like an extension of the hand.
With proper care, a Kayaki knife can last over 50 years, aging beautifully as it continues to serve.
