What materials go into your knives?
I use high-carbon steel, from highest quality and purity
For handles, I use offcuts, recycled hardwoods, exotic woods, or stabilized wood, sometimes with epoxy to fill the gaps
Strong materials. Less waste. Built for daily use.
Do you take custom knife requests right now?
Yes. Simply send us an email with your request at infokaizenknives@gmail.com.
Full custom options start at 1200$+tx
More affordable option exist to only customize the handle. Contact us for more details
Do you offer a discount for buying more than one?
No.
Each knife is made by hand, one by one. That takes time, care, and skill.
I price them to reflect the work behind each piece.
How do I care for the wooden handle?
Keep it dry.
Wipe it after use.
Do not soak it.
A small amount of food-safe oil or wax now and then helps protect the wood and keep it looking good. If the handle feels dry, that is a good time to treat it.
What should I do if my knife rusts?
Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove the rust.
For light rust, we recommande using a product like "Pure Brite", which contains a light abrasive powder. You can also use a rust eraser sponge.
Then wash, dry, and oil the blade.
If the rust is deep, reach out. I can help you judge the damage and probably restore it for you
Should I force a patina on my knife?
You do not need to.
A natural patina will form with use.
That is part of carbon steel.
A forced patina can change the look, but it is not required for performance. If you choose to do it, take care and do your research first.
How do I care for my carbon steel knife?
Wash it by hand.
Dry it right away.
Do not put it in the dishwasher.
Carbon steel can stain and patina over time. That is normal. A thin coat of food-safe oil helps if you do not use the knife for a while.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes.
If you want to give a knife but let the person choose, a gift card is a simple option.
It works well when you are not sure which model they will love.
