Sustainable Japanese knives
Japanese knives have a reputation for quality craftsmanship and precision. Whether used by professional chefs or home cooks, these knives are prized for their razor-sharp edges and long-lasting performance. Many are made using traditional techniques inspired by samurai sword-making, which gives them incredible sharpness and durability. The result is a knife that glides through food with ease, offering better control and cleaner cuts.
Invest in a sustainable line of Japanese knives by Kyocera. The brand's latest lineup features plant-based bio-resin handles made from sugarcane, offering excellent grip and durability. The packaging has also been revamped with FSC-certified paper and biomass ink, eliminating plastic.
Alongside the eco-friendly update, two new knife types have joined the lineup. First is the nakiri knife (15 cm), a rectangular blade ideal for slicing vegetables with speed and precision. Unlike heavier metal versions, Kyocera's ceramic blade is super lightweight, making it perfect for effortless chopping. Second is the bread knife (18 cm), previously only available in a special anniversary set.
Both knives come in black or white and are priced at ¥12,100 for the Nakiri and ¥11,550 for the bread knife.
