History and tradition

KIYA was founded during the Edo period and quickly gained a reputation for its excellent knives and tools. The company is known for passing on its craftsmanship from generation to generation, which is reflected in the quality and precision of their products.

Products

KIYA offers a wide range of kitchen knives and tools:

Traditional Japanese knives: knives such as Gyuto, Santoku, Nakiri, Usuba and Deba, designed for specific cooking tasks.
Special knives: knives designed for sashimi, sushi and other Japanese specialties.
Kitchen utensils: scissors, knife sharpeners, and other tools for cooks.

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.

International presence

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.

Commitment to excellence

KIYA is committed to continuous improvement and innovation of its products. The combination of more than two centuries of experience with modern manufacturing techniques allows them to create knives that meet the needs of today's chefs.

Conclusion

KIYA represents the perfect combination of Japanese tradition and modern quality. Their knives are a symbol of artisanal precision and are the ideal choice for those looking for reliable and high-quality kitchen tools.
