A blade that cuts cells cleanly
We form the blade from VPS, a powder alloy with an even structure, then grind it only 1.5 mm thick. The edge slips into food without crushing fibres, so the cut surface stays neat and the flavour of the ingredient is kept as it is.
Taste differences you can really notice
In our taste-sensor test, we compared knives of equal sharpness in different materials. More than 95 percent of people noticed a significant difference in the umami of tomato and the richness of tuna against ordinary steel and stainless knives.
A steel-like edge with stainless-like care
VPS resists wear and corrosion, and the knife is compatible with dishwashers and dish dryers. Rust may still form depending on your environment, and one review advises wiping off water droplets right after use, so a quick dry keeps the blade bright.
A cast enamel handle that does the work
We cast the handle from enamel with our thin-wall casting technique and place the weight near your hand. The knife is about 198 g, the handle stays slip-resistant when wet and the balance sends force to the edge smoothly.
Three colours to suit your kitchen
Choose matte linen beige for a soft, light look, matte black for a sharp, modern one or ocean navy for a deep, calm one. All three share the same blade, handle shape and 296 mm length, and come in a box that feels special.
A casting maker with roots since 1936
We began in 1936 in Nagoya as a casting maker, and our cast enamel cookware grew from that skill. We now back our products with a lifetime support programme, so a knife like this is designed to be kept and cared for.

IMPORTANT

The blade is very sharp. Keep out of reach of children. Rust may form depending on your environment, so wipe off all water droplets right after use and dry the blade fully.

Who Is This For

The Taste-Driven Home Cook: You want a knife that changes how your food tastes. Dull blades crush ingredients and rust-prone steel makes upkeep a burden, which is a problem of the tool, not your cooking. Our kitchen knife gives you a 1.5 mm VPS powder alloy blade at 60 HRC, a cast enamel handle that stays slip-resistant when wet and a finish in matte linen beige, matte black or ocean navy. Choose your favourite colour and cook with a knife that cuts cleanly and invites careful care.

Product Story

We began in 1936 in Nagoya as a casting maker, and in 2010 we developed our cast enamel cookware from that skill. Our knife began with a chef's remark: could a knife cut like steel and not rust like stainless? We formed a powder alloy called VPS, ground it to 1.5 mm and gave it a cast enamel handle. It is made in Japan, and our lifetime support programme stands behind our products.

Quick Answer

Our kitchen knife has a 165 mm VPS powder alloy blade only 1.5 mm thick and a cast enamel handle, weighing about 198 g. It comes in beige, black or navy, is made in Japan and is backed by a maker founded in 1936.

The Taste-Chasing Cook

You believe the cut shapes the taste. A thin powder-steel blade cuts without crushing cells, and more than 95 percent of people in our test noticed the difference.

The Best-of-Both Cook

You want steel-like sharpness without rust worries. The powder alloy resists wear and corrosion, so you only need to wipe off the water after you finish.

The Stable-Grip Cook

You want the handle to do half the work. The cast enamel handle gathers weight near your hand and stays slip-resistant when wet, so prep feels steady.

The Treasure-Keeping Cook

You want a tool to keep. Matte beige, black or navy enamel and a special box make a knife that looks as good as it cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our kitchen knife is made in Japan, and the blade is engraved with its country of origin. We began in 1936 in Nagoya as a casting maker, and the cast enamel handle comes from that long casting skill. We ship every knife directly from Japan, and the origin is also listed in the specifications, so you know exactly where it comes from.

What is the blade made of?

The blade is VPS, a powder corrosion- and wear-resistant alloy formed from powdered metal for an even structure, with a hardness of 60 HRC. It is ground to 1.5 mm thick, 165 mm long and 42.5 mm wide, and the double-bevel edge suits right- and left-handed cooks. The handle is cast enamel, which feels solid and stays slip-resistant even when it is wet.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Yes, the knife is compatible with dishwashers and dish dryers. Rust may form depending on your environment, however, and one review advises wiping off water droplets right after use. Dry the blade fully after washing and store it dry, and it will keep a bright finish and a keen edge for many years of use.

Does it really make food taste better?

In our own taste-sensor test, we compared knives with equal sharpness in different materials, and more than 95 percent of people recognised a significant difference in the umami of tomato and the richness of tuna against ordinary steel and stainless knives. A cleaner cut preserves the cells and the flavour of the ingredient, which is why the cut surface looks so different.

Which colour should I choose?

All three colours share the same blade, handle shape and weight, so the choice is about style. Matte linen beige is soft and light, matte black is sharp and modern, and ocean navy is deep and calm. Each knife arrives in a box that one review says feels special, which makes it a fine gift.

How is this knife shipped and when will it arrive?

We ship directly from Japan, and delivery takes 7-14 business days. Any item with a shelf life ships with a minimum of 6 months remaining. Tracking is provided so you can follow your parcel from our shipping point to your door. Your knife is packed carefully so the blade arrives safely and ready for your kitchen.
