For over 115 years, the KAI brand has been manufacturing knives according to the traditions of the legendary samurai of old Japan. The desire to preserve ancient traditions and combine them with innovative techniques forms the basis for new products that honor Japanese blacksmithing and meet modern demands.

KAI produces high-quality kitchen knives for daily use and master chefs. The knives are made from natural resources and shaped with the ancient blacksmithing art of the samurai. KAI's kitchen knives represent Japanese craftsmanship with the highest precision. The focus is on developing an integrated and carefully considered product from design to completion of each knife.

Care Instructions

We recommend using wooden or plastic cutting boards, as glass, stone, and granite can damage the knife blades. The knives are not suitable for cutting bones or frozen foods. Rinse the knives in warm water before first use and wash them immediately after each use with a mild detergent, drying them with a soft cloth. Acidic foods should be rinsed off immediately. Avoid using a dishwasher and wash the knives by hand. Wooden handles should be oiled regularly and not left in water for too long. Professional sharpening is recommended to maintain the sharpness.
