Description

Pick a single Kaigan knife, or build your own set one blade at a time.

Every Kaigan knife has a 67-layer Damascus steel blade, hand-polished to a sharp, even edge, with a burlwood and teal acrylic handle. The burlwood grain and resin are different in every piece, so no two handles look the same.

Choose your knife

  • Chef 203mm: the everyday all-rounder for slicing, dicing and chopping
  • Kiritsuke 203mm: angled tip for fine slicing and precise veg prep
  • Santoku 190mm: flatter blade for fast chopping and push cuts
  • Nakiri 180mm: square-tipped vegetable knife for clean, straight cuts
  • Bread 203mm: serrated edge that cuts crusty loaves without crushing them
  • Boning 150mm: narrow blade for trimming meat and fish
  • Utility 130mm: the in-between knife for sandwiches, herbs and small jobs
  • Paring 90mm: peeling, trimming and small, detailed cuts

Building a full kit? The Kaigan 5-Piece and 9-Piece sets work out cheaper than buying each knife on its own.

Is it real Damascus?

Yes. The blade is 67-layer pattern-welded Damascus steel: the layers are the steel itself, not a print or an etch. The pattern is formed by a stamped process, so it looks the same across knives of one model. Each handle is one of a kind.
