  • 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.

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.
