Daimyo

Daimyo

Created by hand.
Designed by nature.
Cherished by life.

The Daimyo series is all about luxury craftsmanship – special knives that are also prepping, plating, and serving workhorses.

Each individualized showstopper features ergonomic handles made from acrylic and a layer of abalone shells from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, off the eastern coast of Miyagi. The blades are hand-forged from premium Damascus steel, with all final edge-work manually sharpened.

Individuality

Every Daimyo chef’s knife is unique. The distinct hues of abalone shells sculpt an exclusive pattern on every knife, meaning no two handles are the same.

Handles with character

The abalone layer in the handle creates an unprecedented look, with its colours evolving when light hits it from different angles.

Defining craftsmanship

Each blade is hand-forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel, then sharpened and polished by our skilled knife sharpeners. The finished knife is unmatched in sharpness – and stays sharp for longer.
