Based and founded in Quebec, Canada, Kakushin Kitchen is known for its beautiful, modern and razor sharp knives. Because each knife sold has unique patterns nobody will have the same design making our products so special.

Because of how well VG-10 steel holds edges, it has become the most popular material for professional chef knives. You get the hardness of a carbon steel but the corrosion resistance of stainless. This makes it great for basic cooking and even as knives that can take abuse in a prestige kitchen.

Here are some key maintenance pointers:

Washingl

Compared to high-end clothes that you would never simply throw into a washing machine, we recommend you hand wash your knife with dish-soap and never let it soak for extended periods or put it into a dishwasher. Drying your knife with a microfiber or cotton cloth after cleaning it is highly recommended to avoid oxidation.

Maintaining

Similar to a nice pair of shoes that you treat with protector, you want to do the same with your high carbon steel blade. We recommend you lubricate the blade with a wax or oil to prevent moisture that could affect the blade long-term. Renaissance Wax Polish is easily available and will keep your knife shiny an rust-free.

Storing

It’s important to keep a high carbon blade in a dry environment where it will not be affected by extreme moisture or temperature changes. After cleaning your knife, be sure to store it in the sheath provided to avoid injuries and exposure to humidity. If oxidation appears, don’t worry its highly normal on high-carbon steel and can be gently rubbed away with a fine steel wool.

[ Engineered to Perfection ] The 2mm thin and 8 inch long blade is composed of 67 layers of premium high carbon stainless steel. It is versatile and suited for cutting through nearly anything without compromising the blade: meat, vegetable, fish, fruit and many more.
[ Ultra-Sharp Blade ] 67-Layer of Damascus with a core made from High Carbon VG-10, the G stands for “gold”, which refers to the “gold standard” that this level of stainless steel is considered to have met. Because of how well VG10 holds an edge and its ability to withstand rust, VG10 has become the steel of choice for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.
[ Unique Design ] Composed from high-pressure G10, it’s unique luxurious handle makes our knife special. Having each handle fabricated and assembled individually makes it very difficult for the massively produced knives to compete against.
[ Ergonomic Handle ] The handle is designed to provide a high level of comfort during extended usage periods. Don’t be fooled by badly designed handles as they can strain and tire the hand, which increases the risk for accidents.
[ Shipping & Gift Box ] What better than quickly getting a complete kit delivered that can even be offered to a loved one without having to wait weeks to receive it. We include a solid PVC knife sheath to protect the blade, packaged in a black branded gift box which also makes it a perfect gift .
