From the very first slice, the Kaede Chef Knife feels like a natural extension of your hand: light, poised, and eager to work. Its rippling Damascus surface catches the light with every stroke, turning everyday prep into a quiet ritual.

The 8.5" blade is built from 67 layers of Damascus steel wrapped around a hard, high-carbon stainless core, tempered to 60±2 HRC and honed to 15° per side for clean, controlled cuts. An octagonal olive wood and black buffalo horn handle keeps your grip secure through long sessions. As a true all-purpose chef's knife, it handles meat, fish, and vegetables with ease, though it's not meant for bones or frozen food.
