For the coming gift season, some says Kei Kobayashi’s knives can be the best as your important present because of his outstanding beautiful finishing work in details.



The hairline finished blade with skilled Kobayashi’s technique provides sharper edge than that by other craftspersons, and the blade insertion point into the handle is — sometimes undervalued and overlooked — nicely finished to keep beautility.


Kei’s Knives feature 63 Layer Damascus-patterned blades with a core of SG2 (Super Gold 2 or R2) Micro Carbide Powder Stainless Steel for professional. The blade provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge as well as its beautifulness.



The “septagonal” shaped wood handle fits better comfortably to your hand, painted with austerely elegant dark-red cashew lacquer for beauty and durability.
