Kuro Series Knife Set ($329)
Presenting our hardest blades ever, the Kamikoto Kuro Series. Kuro is Japanese for black.
These zirconium dioxide blades are the hardest blades we've ever made with superior edge retention.

Non-serrated, razor sharp blade
Continuing Japanese tradition, the blade of the Kamikoto Steak Knife is non-serrated and sharpened into a 11° angle.
Handcrafted through a process refined over generations, it cuts through steak without sawing. This way more capillaries of the meat remain intact, retaining more juices of the meat inside.
