Kaiden Semi Stainless Series

Traditionally, Kataba (chisel edged) blades such as deba, usuba and yanagiba have been forged from varying types of carbon steel that are prevalent to rust. Fully stainless versions do exist but they are either cheaply made or exquisitely crafted with price tags to match. Stainless Kataba are also notoriously difficult to sharpen. 

Kaiden semi-stainless are carefully crafted from SLD steel which means it has superior rust resistance to carbon steels yet much easier to sharpen than stainless steels. Semi stainless steel can also form an attractive grey patina.

Unlike many cheaper kataba knives including those found in the tourist districts in Japan, the Kaiden knives stands apart with superior finish and sharpness. 

An easy choice for new or regular users of single edged knives.

Please note:

• This is a single bevel knife (one sided edge) for right handed users only.
• Only sharpen on sharpening stones. This knife should NEVER be sharpened on a honing steel.
• This is a semi stainless steel, please please keep dry after use.
