Culilux meets Besserbissen 2.0
A renewed collaboration between two knife enthusiasts with a passion for ultimate sharpness. Following the success of their first partnership, the new edition once again impresses with premium materials, excellent craftsmanship, and perfectly honed blades.

NC62 NanoCarbide Steel – Ultimate Sharpness, German Precision
Our NC62 NanoCarbide steel, made in Germany, shares the same excellent composition as the renowned AEB-L steel but with one decisive improvement: thanks to the innovative IngotForge process, this steel features an exceptionally fine microstructure with extremely small, evenly distributed carbides. Through advanced vacuum hardening and the CryoMax process — where the steel is deep-cooled to –196 °C in liquid nitrogen — the blade achieves a hardness of 60–62 HRC. This combination ensures an exceptionally stable edge that retains its sharpness even at acute angles — for cutting performance at the highest level.

Superior Sharpness – Effortless Cutting
The KYOTO knives impress with an ultra-thin blade that offers minimal resistance thanks to its precise grind. With a cutting angle of about 11° per side, the knife glides effortlessly through any ingredient — almost by itself.

Tsuchime Blade – Aesthetics Meets Functionality
The traditional Tsuchime hammer finish, inspired by hand-forged Japanese blades, not only gives the knife its distinctive look but also serves a purpose: the dimples reduce food sticking, allowing you to work more efficiently.

Octagonal Pakka Wood Handle – Ergonomics and Elegance
The handle’s classic Japanese octagonal shape provides outstanding comfort for every cutting technique. The smooth transition between handle and blade ensures perfect balance and ergonomics in the pinch grip. Made from durable Pakka wood, the handle is both elegant and low-maintenance.

Guaranteed Premium Quality
The KYOTO series stands for top-tier craftsmanship, comparable to the finest Japanese premium knives. Rounded edges ensure comfort even during long cutting sessions, while the perfectly balanced blade offers optimal control. The center of gravity lies just ahead of the bolster, making these knives ideal for pinch-grip users.

Unmatched Versatility
This elegant knife meets the highest demands of professional and ambitious home chefs alike. Whether slicing vegetables, meat, fish, or fruit — the KYOTO series handles every task with ease. Presented in a stylish gift box, it also makes a perfect gift for any occasion.
