In the hills of Kyoto, between the serenity of the temples and the whispering of the wind through the trees, the inspiration for our most carefully crafted and evocative collection is born. “Letters to Kyoto” is an ode to simplicity, craftsmanship and Japanese culinary tradition, reflected in each knife. From dark walnut wood to carbon steel, each piece in this edition captures the beauty of precision and functionality in its purest form.
We imagine each Japanese knife as a traveling letter
From the best workshops in Japan to the kitchens of the world, precision in cutting, the elegance of materials and the tradition of forging combine to create unique pieces.
