Welcome to the Cutting Edge of Knives. Welcome to the Kessaku family.

THE DAMASCUS SERIES – Our flagship series and the culmination of our passion for knives. Lovingly designed by our master artisans to reflect centuries of traditional knife design, paired with cutting-edge nitrogen-cooled forging techniques & the highest-grade Damascus Steel for unparalleled craftsmanship. Their gorgeous, military-aircraft-grade G10 handles are perfectly balanced & contoured for amazing comfort & safety, with spectacularly sharp blades.
DAMASCUS STEEL – The reputation of Damascus steel is legendary because it holds its edge better than any other steel on earth. It is formed from 67 folded layers of AUS-10V steel, causing its distinctive waved and patterned design. Aside from its elegant, sleek, look, and beautiful aesthetics, Damascus Steel is highly valued, as it is extremely hard and flexible. (In a historic context, weapons forged from Damascus steel are vastly superior in battle than those formed from any other steel)
STRIKINGLY SHARP – Individually handcrafted & hand-sharpened by our virtuoso technicians in the complex 3-stage traditional Honbazuke method to 16° per side for clean, precise, cuts. Our own 67-Layer AUS-10V Japanese Steel formula adds enhanced corrosion resistance & non-stick properties, and these Precision-Forged, Nitrogen-Cooled, blades have a Rockwell Hardness of 62+ for maximum strength, flexibility, & blade edge durability. Damascus steel also holds its edge better than any other steel.
