Letters to Kyoto

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.

Honoring Tradition and Craftsmanship in The Art of Japanese Blades

ODE TO SIMPLICITY

The "Letters to Kyoto" collection is inspired by Japanese minimalism, by the stillness of an autumn landscape, by the dedication of artisans who, with years of experience, create tools that not only cut, but tell a story in every stroke.

These knives are not just kitchen instruments, but pieces of art that invite reflection, respect for the raw material, and a deep connection between the cook and his environment.

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.
