Katana Saya Design
Inspired by tradition. Crafted for today.
At Katana Saya, we draw from the principles that have defined Japanese blade design for generations: precision, balance, simplicity and purpose.
Inspired by the Samurai
For centuries, the Samurai represented discipline and unwavering commitment to mastering their craft. The legendary katana sword was a symbol of skill, purpose and respect.
At Katana Saya, we draw inspiration from these enduring values. While our knives are designed for the modern kitchen, they reflect the same appreciation for precision and craftsmanship.
VG-10 Damascus Steel Blades
At the heart of every Katana Saya knife is a precision-forged VG-10 Damascus steel blade chosen for its exceptional balance of sharpness, durability and performance.
Superior Edge Retention
Hardened to 60+ HRC (Rockwell Hardness), the blade delivers outstanding edge retention so it stays sharper for longer.
Japanese Tradition
Our use of Damascus steel pays tribute to the Japanese artistry that has defined its premium blade making for generations.
Built to Last
Made from quality steel, the layered structure provides a combination of hardness and toughness, making it a resilient material.
Striking Layered Pattern
Katana Saya blades are forged from 67 layers of folded VG-10 Damascus steel which creates the distinctive patterned finish, unique to each knife.
Handles Inspired by Nature
A knife should feel as beautiful in the hand as it looks on the worktop. Our handles are inspired by the textures, colours and natural beauty of the world around us.
Olive Wood
The durable, and hardwearing natural olive wood provides stunning grain patterns and warm golden-brown tones. The smooth finish creates a comfortable and secure grip. It features a pearl effect ferrule for added durability and elegance.
Pakkawood
The durable black pakkawood handles offer a natural water resistance thanks to the resin. Its natural glossy finish gives it more scratch resistance and makes it easier to clean. It features a pearl effect ferrule for added durability and elegance.
Rosewood
Natural and durable rosewood handles unite the warm tones of Flame's copper and brass layered Damascus steel. The natural oils in rosewood help protect the handle from moisture and the octagonal shape is favourite amongst chefs.
Ebony
A luxury, hard wood handle with a copper ferrule. The Smoke Collection's dark wood not only looks striking but feels smooth and well balanced on the hand for a comfortable and secure grip. Ebony is naturally moisture resistant and extremely durable.
Pearl Resin
Both elegant and eye catching, the pearl resin handles are inspired by the iridescent effect found inside abalone shells. Resin is an extremely durable material that’s water resistant for a long-lasting kitchen knife.
Elements Resin
These beautifully elegant handles combine a robust olive wood fused with a luxurious resin in three different colours. Each colour represents a force of nature: Ocean Blue, Rainforest Green or Volcanic Red.
