Our Craftsmen Make a Difference
What makes our brand stand out and apart is our expert team of craftsmen. Our CEO himself is a skilled craftsman, which makes it essential for every worker on the floor to be good at their skill. Our team comes from varied backgrounds with a great deal of experience in the knife-making industry, and that makes every product unique.
Our knives combine the best of both technology and craftsmanship. Every knife goes through skilled craftsmanship of around 45 days, which is how each is perfectly crafted. Because of our craftsmen's efforts, you see that sublime perfection in each of our knives.
How are these Knives made?
Our craftsmen spend around 45 days making every knife, which involves many efforts, such as hand polishing, hand finishing, and strict handling of the knives using a honing process that the Japanese traditionally use.
Each knife is meticulously worked on for around 45 days. In those 45 days, the blade goes through a rigorous honing process of polishing, 'hand finish, and more similar to how the Japanese traditionally make their knives. This Japanese knife-making tradition is called Honbazaku which involves three stages:
- Using a stone for sharpening, the blade is vigorously and coarsely grounded rotating in all directions constantly.
- The blade will then be honed by a horizontal stone that rotates.
- Using a stropping block made from leather, the blade's edge will then be polished.
This meticulous traditional process is then mixed with cryo-tempering which is this high-end method that helps improve the blade's crystalline structure making the blade stronger then we use high amounts of carbon for our blades.
It makes our knives durable and of higher quality. The merger of traditional methods and modern technology helps create the perfect fusion of cost-effectiveness and incredible quality.
