Hikari Kaze, meaning “light breeze” in Japanese, embodies the perfect fusion of artistry and performance. At its heart lies a premium 12Cr18MoV steel core, masterfully encased between 37 layers of stainless steel, brass, and copper, creating mesmerizing patterns that make every blade truly one-of-a-kind.
Like sunlight refracting through a morning mist, each knife reveals shimmering, unique patterns that shift and sparkle as light dances across the surface — transforming your kitchen into a gallery of craftsmanship.
While slightly below our SHIN line in sheer performance, Hikari Kaze delivers a captivating aesthetic experience, turning everyday cooking into a visual and tactile pleasure. The layered construction isn’t just beautiful: it enhances edge retention, ensures smooth, precise cuts, and keeps your knife performing at its peak for years to come.
Designed for those who see cooking as both culinary and visual art, Hikari Kaze is a conversation piece as much as a high-performance tool — a blade that delights the eyes while empowering every chop, slice, and dice.
