Ours knives have three layers of Japanese stainless steel and high carbon for unmatched strength and easy-to-care-for resilience. At finishing, each knife is heat-treated at 300F before it's cryogenically tempered at -250F, altering the structure of the steel on a molecular level, making it harder, sharper, and more durable.
Our blade is a full tang: it extends into the handle so it won't break under pressure and weight is better distributed. The result? An even balance at the bolster for that “feels just right in your hand” sensation.
We integrated the classic oval shape of Japanese handles into our design but used an innovative, stain-resistant composite in a matte finish to make ours firm and slightly grippy, for safe and confident chopping.
Smart storage is also key to a long knife life, which is why we designed The Stand to preserve and show off our knives. The hidden magnet means that you won’t dull your blades by sliding your knives into the slits in those clunky traditional knife blocks. It’s also much easier to clean.
Magnetized walls on both sides of The Stand allow storage of up to eight knives of varying sizes. It is heavy enough to be sturdy, keeping your knives stowed safely, and is made exclusively with FSC-certified wood.
I’m so impressed with these knives, couldn’t believe the sharpness of them. Looks very chic!
I’m really happy about the stand, very sophisticated, looks amazing in my kitchen.
I have a few very beautiful knives that have been kept in a drawer until use. The Stand allows me to display the knives and keep them handy and safe. The walnut is very fine quality which compliments the craftsmanship of the knives very nicely.
We have a ton of knives in our kitchen drawer with no compartment of their own. I've been contemplating which knife holder to get, but I don't like the conventional ones where it has a slit for the knife. I knew I wanted my knives out and open, like a metal bar, but we live in an apartment and I didn't want to deal with wall mounts.
Enter this beautiful stand. It's modern, sleek, and beautiful on our kitchen counter. Love it!
The knives are very lovely! Easy to grip, they cut with ease, and they’re very nice looking. Where have they been all my life! I’m sure I will have them for years to come!
