Quality and craftsmanship

KIYA combines traditional blacksmithing techniques with modern technology. They use high quality steels, including Damascene steel, which is known for its strength and unique pattern on the blade. Each knife goes through a meticulous manufacturing process that includes:

  • Hand forging: skilled craftsmen shape and harden the blades for optimum hardness and sharpness.
  • Sharpening and polishing: Hand finishing of the blade to ensure maximum sharpness and aesthetic appearance.
  • Quality Control:Each product is carefully inspected to meet the company's high standards.

Design and ergonomics

KIYA knife handles are designed for a comfortable and secure grip. Handle materials include:

  • Traditional wood: such as magnolia or rosewood, which give the knife a classic look.
  • Modern materials: Durable synthetic materials that are easy to maintain and resistant to moisture.

KIYA has its main stores in Tokyo, for example in the historic Nihonbashi district. Their products are popular not only in Japan, but also among professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts around the world. The company frequently collaborates with international distributors and participates in global culinary exhibitions.
