Arisen from Samurai sword tradition

The manufacturing of KAI Japanese knives is rooted in the ancient tradition of samurai sword forging where different types of metal alloys are layered together and forged into one single piece. The fine craftmanship produces multiple layers in the steel, which contribute to its sharpness and durability.

How to clean your KAI kitchen knives

KAI knives should be washed by hand right after use and cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher to protect the material and to maintain the sharpness of the knife. The wooden handle of your KAI knives should not be left too long in water as this can cause damage to the wood. You can oil the wooden handle of the Japanese knives occasionally with a neutral vegetable oil.

How to store your KAI kitchen knives

To prevent any damage to the blades of your KAI Japanese knives, it is recommended to store your KAI kitchen knives using a magnetic knife strip or knife block.
