An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Santoku knife, a classic in Japanese kitchens, translates to "three virtues," symbolizing its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, versatile blade and a balanced design, it's ideal for a range of tasks, from cutting meat to chopping vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose tool.

Steel Type Read

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Kajibee

Kajibee knives are hand-forged by master blacksmith Kunio Ishikawa and his son. They are located in a quaint, traditional factory in the historic knife making city of Sanjo, Japan. We met them for the first time in 2022 and designed the Seishin range. Master Ishikawa prefers to only use traditional Japanese steel such as White, and Blue Paper steels from Hitachi Yasuki Steel. All Kajibee knives are hand-forged in a traditional wood-fired oven and then hand polished. This technique has been passed down from father to son for many years.

Thanks so much!you! so much!

I got Kajibee White 2 Santoku for my boyfriend, along with a stone 1000/6000 grid and carbon care kit. He is amazed by quality, bringing his knife everywhere to cook. It cuts everything like it was butter! I also did some research on master, it wasn’t easy to find information on Japanese YouTube, so if there was only thing, i would love that your blog on TikTok or on your site we could see more personal information about creators. Maybe you could visit them and make a film or smth? Just throwing an idea, that way we could be attached better emotionally to these pieces of art with a nice warming story from masters.

Great for the price

Light and easy to manoeuvre. Like some others have said, the handle isn’t that nice, but really not much to complain about given the price

Excellent knife for home cooks

White carbon steel 2 (one of the sharpest steel) for $99?? i had to ordered one!! It arrived quickly and man after using a white carbon steel i never wanted to use stainless steel again. Take care of it properly and it should last long time. Ooh and its very thin and light also.
