Benefits

A seamless all-black body that looks striking: We make each knife as one piece of Sus420 stainless steel with a black non-stick coating, so there is no seam between blade and handle. The knife looks sleek on the counter, and its Red Dot Design Award recognises that careful, clean design.

A body that is easy to clean: Because the knife is all stainless with no joints, it is dishwasher safe, and one review notes that the coating repels water so washing up takes less effort. Food has nowhere to hide, and cleanup after a busy evening is quick.

A light knife for everyday cooking: Our santoku weighs about 150 g and measures about 320 mm overall, with a 180 mm blade. The petty knife weighs about 70 g. Both feel light and balanced, so preparation stays comfortable from the first cut to the last plate.

A gift box in black with a fitted tray: Each knife arrives in a black gift box with a fitted tray, so it is ready to hand over without extra wrapping. The set of two gives you a santoku and a petty knife together for a more complete gift.

Three options for the way you cook: Choose the 180 mm santoku for meat, fish and vegetables, the 130 mm petty knife for fruit and small jobs, or the set of both. We note that the petty knife can also be the main knife for cooks with smaller hands.

A brand with 300,000 knives shipped: Our brand began with its first series in 2013 and has shipped more than 300,000 knives to over 34 countries. Kuro is our second line, built for people who want striking design and easy care in one knife.

Who Is This For

The Style-First Home Cook: You want a knife that looks as good as it works. Plain silver blades blend into the kitchen, and joints between blade and handle collect food, which makes cleanup harder than it should be. Our kuro knife gives you a seamless one-piece Sus420 stainless body with a black non-stick coating, a dishwasher-safe build and a black gift box. Choose the 180 mm santoku, the 130 mm petty knife or the set of both, and cook with a knife that earns every glance on your counter.
