How to care for your knife

Our knives are made from normal steel instead of stainless. It gives a better edge but does get spots over time. This is not a downside, as you use your knife it’ll develop a unique look individual to you.

We have given the blade a head start by making it gray with a special treatment so new spots will blend in nicely.

If the blade is neglected it will become rusty orange.

Here’s how we take care of it:
When you’ve cut something, rinse under water and wipe your blade with a towel. you don’t need to use soap unless you really have.


Acid foods like limes will discolour very fast (10 seconds), so clean it immediately. Most other things you have a minute.

Which Knife Suits You?

Bunka‑Tip Gyuto — Do‑Everything Knife with a Tactical Tip

  • What it’s for: 80–90% of kitchen tasks—push/pull cuts, slicing proteins, herbs, onions—with a kiritsuke/bunka tip for precise tip work and skin scoring.

  • Who it’s for: Technique‑minded cooks who want one primary knife but value a more aggressive tip than a santoku

Santoku — Compact Workhorse, Maximum Confidence

  • What it’s for: Daily meals on small boards—veg, boneless meats, fruits. Excels at straight push cuts and quick batching.

  • Who it’s for: Beginner home cooks who want maneuverability and low maintenance; great first upgrade from supermarket stainless. A safe choice for when in doubt.

Nakiri — Vegetable Specialist, Zero‑Drama Prep

  • What it’s for: Fast, repeatable veg work—dice, julienne, chiffonade. Flat edge excels at full‑board contact; no “accordion” cuts in onions, carrots, cabbage.

  • Who it’s for: Home cooks and pros who prep lots of vegetables and want clean, square cuts with minimal rocking. Great for meal‑prep and plant‑forward kitchens.

Petty — Trim, Peel, Detail

  • What it’s for: In‑hand work, deboning chicken, remove fat from steak, hulling, citrus, garlic, small fruit, and tight board tasks where bigger blades are clumsy.

  • Who it’s for: Everyone. It’s the fastest knife for small jobs; in pro settings it’s the perfect station/finisher’s knife.
