"Kagekiyo" is the premium brand of Baba Hamono Seisakusho, crafted by skilled artisans in Sakai, Osaka, the home of forged blades.

This discerning series uses carefully selected materials, such as Shiroichi-ko (White Steel #1) for ultimate sharpness and Aoi-ko (Blue Steel #1) for unparalleled edge retention, and even considers the matching of the blade and handle.

From "Kagekiyo," a high-end brand boasting a unique and high-quality lineup, comes a household Santoku knife.

The Chromax semi-stainless steel blade has chromium added to the maximum extent that does not affect sharpness, providing a cutting edge similar to steel and a slight resistance to rust, making it easy to handle even at home.
