Introducing

Kajibee

Kajibee knives are hand-forged by master blacksmith Kunio Ishikawa and his son. They are located in a quaint, traditional factory in the historic knife making city of Sanjo, Japan. Master Ishikawa prefers to only use traditional Japanese steel such as White, and Blue Paper steels from Hitachi Yasuki Steel. All Kajibee knives are hand-forged in a traditional wood-fired oven and then hand polished. This technique has been passed down from father to son for many hundreds of years.

Blade Type

The Santoku is a general purpose kitchen knife, mostly used for cutting smaller meat and vegetables. Sizes for the Santoku range from 130-180mm, with 165mm being the most popular.

Steel Type

White Steel is the purest of the Japanese high -carbon steels made by Hitachi Metals. It can be forged to extremely high hardness, sharpened extremely easily (even for novices), and takes a scalpel like edge with ease. Being this pure and lacking any stainless properties, this steel is very reactive and will rust quickly if not dried after use, and oiled between uses.

Recommended Maintenance

· Store your knife in a dry environment away from leather pouches or any sources of moisture.

· To maintain your Japanese knives’ sharp edge use a
whetstone. Stones are available on our website.

Great for the price

Light and easy to manoeuvre. Like some others have said, the handle isn’t that nice, but really not much to complain about given the price

Excellent knife for home cooks

White carbon steel 2 (one of the sharpest steel) for $99?? i had to ordered one!! It arrived quickly and man after using a white carbon steel i never wanted to use stainless steel again. Take care of it properly and it should last long time. Ooh and its very thin and light also.
