The KYOTO Knife Series – Where Tradition Meets Supreme Cutting Performance
Following the remarkable success of our KOBE series, we listened to our customers: with the KYOTO series, we combine the proven sharpness and precision of the KOBE blades with the elegant, traditional Japanese handle design.

NC62 NanoCarbide Steel – Superior Sharpness, German Precision
Crafted in Germany, our NC62 NanoCarbide steel features the same exceptional composition as the esteemed AEB-L steel, but with a crucial enhancement: through the innovative IngotForge process, this steel boasts an ultra-fine microstructure with minuscule, evenly distributed carbides. With state-of-the-art vacuum hardening and the CryoMax process, which involves deep-freezing the steel at -196°C in liquid nitrogen, the blade achieves an impressive hardness of 60-62 HRC. This combination results in an exceptionally stable edge that holds sharp angles over time – delivering cutting performance at the highest level.

Superior Sharpness – Effortless Cutting
KYOTO knives feature an ultra-thin blade that glides through ingredients with minimal resistance. With a cutting angle of approximately 11° per side, the knife cuts effortless through any ingredient.

Tsuchime Blade – Aesthetic Meets Functionality
Inspired by hand-forged Japanese blades, the traditional Tsuchime hammered finish gives each blade a unique, artisanal look and a practical advantage: the hammered indentations reduce food sticking, making every cut more efficient.

Octagonal Micarta Handle – Ergonomics and Elegance
The classic Japanese octagonal handle provides outstanding comfort for any cutting technique. A smooth transition from handle to blade ensures perfect balance and ergonomic support for pinch-grip users. The Micarta handle, resembling wood in appearance and feel, is durable and low-maintenance.

Guaranteed Premium Quality
The KYOTO series represents top-tier craftsmanship, comparable to the finest Japanese knives in the premium class. Rounded edges provide comfort during extended use, and the perfectly balanced blade offers optimal control. The balance point just in front of the bolster makes these knives ideal for the pinch grip.

Versatility at the Highest Level
This elegant knife meets the highest standards of both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks. Whether you’re slicing vegetables, meat, fish, or fruit, the KYOTO series handles every task effortlessly. Packaged in a stylish gift box, it also makes an ideal gift for any occasion.
