Katana Saya

In a world where traditions are shared across continents, Katana Saya embodies the precision of Japanese craftsmanship while embracing the enduring utility of European design. The result is a universal knife collection — forged from Japanese VG-10 Damascus steel, rooted in centuries of skill, and made for the way we cook today.

The Story Behind the Blade

Inspired by the revered Samurai sword, each Katana Saya knife reflects a legacy of precision, strength, and purposeful design. The blades are forged from 67 layers of VG-10 Damascus steel — a premium material that blends the strength of carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless. Renowned for its exceptional toughness and edge retention, VG-10 is a favourite among Japanese culinary blades. Its elegant, layered pattern speaks to the craftsmanship behind every knife.

Staying true to tradition, every Japanese-style knife is housed in a wooden Saya, while Western blades are paired with a leather sheath — honouring both form and function in every detail.

A Knife for Every Tradition

The Katana Saya collection brings together essential forms from both Japanese and European culinary practice. From the versatile santoku and precise nakiri to the classic chef’s and carving knives, each blade is crafted to suit a specific task — and a distinct tradition.

Every knife is finished with a classic chestnut-shaped handle, designed for comfort and control. Many feature a striking opal-effect ring, with handle styles ranging from timeless pakkawood to intricate abalone shell — offering a colour and finish to suit every kitchen.

Designed for the Way You Cook

Katana Saya knives combine tradition, performance and aesthetic appeal — designed for those who value precision and purpose in the kitchen. Whether you're upgrading your own tools or looking for a gift to be remembered, this is a collection worth discovering.
