Hakami Ajisai Kitchen Knives

A San Maï design with a contemporary finish

Hakami Ajisai kitchen knives feature a 3-layer San Mai construction. This method involves sandwiching a central layer of steel between two outer layers to combine cutting precision with technical craftsmanship. The 10Cr15CoMoV steel core is designed to provide a cutting edge suitable for everyday culinary tasks. The matte sandblasted finish gives the blade a uniform, contemporary look. It stands in contrast to the hammered finish of the Sakura line or the Damascus pattern of the Tsubaki line. Ajisai thus adopts a more minimalist aesthetic, which highlights the blade’s silhouette and the contrast with the black handle.  The Pakka wood used for the handle is a wood-based composite material, prized for its strength and stability. Its black hue reinforces the knives’ modern style while ensuring a comfortable grip. Depending on the model, the collection offers a paring knife, a santoku knife, or a chef’s knife to cover a variety of kitchen uses.

Practical knives for all your food prep needs

Ajisai knives are designed to make everyday kitchen tasks easier. The paring knife is perfect for peeling, cutting up fruit, preparing vegetables, or making small cuts. Compact and easy to handle, it fits easily on the countertop. With its wider blade, the santoku knife is suitable for a wide range of tasks. It allows you to slice vegetables, cut meat, and prepare fish using techniques inspired by Japanese knives. The chef’s knife, on the other hand, offers greater versatility for slicing, chopping, and mincing ingredients. A knife set is a practical solution for combining several complementary knife types. It can be given as a gift to a cooking enthusiast or serve as the foundation for a personal knife collection. Its hard case protects the knives while ensuring a neat presentation.
