KAI | Knives from Japan

Knives from the brand KAI from Japan have a legendary reputation and set new standards in terms of quality, design, and handling. Traditional blacksmithing meets innovative manufacturing techniques and is combined with state-of-the-art materials. New steel alloys and the combination of different types of steel make it possible for KAI knives to maximize the potential of the blade material.

Since 1908, the Japanese company KAI has been producing knives and cutting tools known for their excellent functionality, sharpness, and durability. The brand KAI aims to meet the highest quality standards and produce the best knives for everyday use. This perfection combined with high quality is the result of a centuries-old culture and follows the legacy of Japanese samurai swordsmithing. KAI was founded more than 115 years ago as a family business in Seki, Japan. Today, the brand has developed into an internationally active company based in Tokyo.

At Butch, you will find a wide selection of collections from the brand KAI, to name just two:

SHUN PRO SHO | These knives with elegant design skillfully combine classic Japanese design language with modern components.
SHUN PREMIER TIM MÄLZER | The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series was tailored to the requirements and needs of professional chefs.

KAI has made a well-deserved name for itself not only in the field of kitchen knives. The label's product range also includes knife blocks, cooking tools, and kitchen aids. Explicitly mentioned here is the series KAI “Select 100”. The ingenious peelers of the collection are unparalleled.

The Range

Pots and pans are not available, but the topic of knives, blades, and accessories is fully covered. KAI offers knives in different qualities, wooden knife blocks with magnets or slots, cutting boards, graters, and peelers. The knives and kitchen tools are manufactured in Japan. For the wooden knife blocks and cutting boards, KAI Europe has partnered with a European company. Oak and walnut wood are not necessarily preferred and widely available materials in Japan. Not all KAI products from Japan are available in Europe, as each continent has its own demands and preferences. However, due to improved trade relations between the EU and Japan, we are enjoying an ever-growing range of products.
