The core of Kaname blades is made of an extremely durable VGXeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, rolled in two layers of stainless steel. The special manufacturing method ensures an incredibly thin cutting edge that reduces friction during use. This results in excellent and durable sharpness, promoting filigree, smooth and precise cuts.

To best design the handle, we combined the experiences of professionals and consumers. The result is a black-grained pakkawood handle that creates a seamless transition from the handle to the tang. The octagonal, ergonomic shape of the handle provides good control while cutting, while the knife rests securely and comfortably in the hand.
