KITA SERIES

The KITA Series is a bold statement of traditional design coupled with innovative materials. Exceptionally sharp and striking in design, these hand sharpened knives feature a unique hammered texture across the face of the high alloy X7 full tang blades. Beautiful blue G-10 fiberglass perfectly highlight the comfortable octagon shaped handle while allowing the distinct mosaic pin to shine. Each knife comes with a deep blue wood magnetic Saya-style sheath that makes storage secure and easy.

HUA is the knife block for tomorrow’s kitchen. Minimal, essential and beautiful it encompasses the essence of Cangshan. This KITA blue knife block fits perfectly in smaller, modern kitchens while offering all the foundational knife functions needed by today’s home chefs.

HIGH ALLOY 67 LAYER DAMASCUS X-7 STEEL

Our proprietary X-7 Steel is harder steel than German steel which means it can take a significantly sharper edge. A unique, Damascus pattern is formed in the metal from folding 67 layers of steel together. X-7 Steel has a hardness rating of 61±2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.

ULTRA6 HEAT TREATMENT

It took 3+ years of research and development to dial in the specific heat treatment process that would ensure our knives are both hard enough to take a sharp 16 degree edge, yet durable enough to keep that sharp edge during heavy kitchen use. Every blade goes through our precise ULTRA6 heat treatment which brings out the best qualities of each steel allowing the blade to take a remarkably sharp edge.
