Tempered for the Fight

Each Kaiju blade goes through our Honor Edge™ tempering process, where it's heated in a high-temperature forge to around 1050°C (1922°F) and then rapidly cooled in oil. This precise heat treatment unlocks the full potential of Japanese SLD tool steel, hardening the blade to 63 HRC — the sweet spot for elite edge retention and slicing power.

This process results in an incredibly sharp edge that holds up to 10x longer than traditional kitchen knives. Whether you're carving, slicing, or prepping for hours, the blade stays sharp, stays reliable, and never backs down from a challenge.
Born from Myth. Built for Battle.

The Kaiju series takes its name and inspiration from the legendary beasts of ancient lore — fierce, unstoppable creatures forged in fire and feared by all. Every curve, claw, and angle in our blade designs is a nod to these mythical monsters, with bold silhouettes and aggressive lines that stand out from anything else in the kitchen.

The Weight of Real Craftsmanship

Each Kaiju blade features our signature Guild Forge™ finish, a raw, powerful look created through hammer-forging. We combine a mix of single-layer and triple-layer steel, depending on the blade’s purpose — then shape them using massive power hammers that imprint character, strength, and individuality into every knife. No two blades are the same, and every strike leaves its mark.

The result is a knife that feels serious in your hand. The weight, the balance, the grain of the steel — it all signals craftsmanship and purpose. This is what a real blade should feel like. Not stamped. Not hollow. Not mass produced. Just pure forged performance.
Built for the Long Haul

Kaiju knives aren’t just sharp out of the box, they’re built to stay that way. With premium steel, expert tempering, and hammer-forged durability, these tools are designed to perform for years, not months. They’re made to be used hard, sharpened when needed, and passed down, not tossed out.

The Power of San Mai

The performance knives in the Kaiju series are forged using a method called San Mai. This traditional Japanese technique sandwiches a razor-sharp SLD tool steel core between two layers of tough, corrosion-resistant 420 stainless steel. It’s a process that gives you the best of both worlds.

F.A.Q
The Kaiju Series is a made-to-order release. Each knife is individually handcrafted, and orders placed now will ship in October. This ensures every blade meets our highest quality standards before reaching your hands.
The Kaiju Series is a powerful new lineup of handcrafted kitchen knives designed for serious chefs and home cooks who demand precision, durability, and striking aesthetics. The collection includes:
- 8” Chef Knife – A versatile all-purpose knife for slicing, dicing, and chopping.
- 7” Bunka – A Japanese-style knife with a sharp, pointed tip for precision cuts.
- 6” Talon – A curved utility blade designed for intricate slicing and trimming.
- 8” Hybrid Bone-Crushing Cleaver – A dual-purpose cleaver with a reinforced lower edge for breaking small to medium bones and a fine upper edge for slicing meats and vegetables.
Each knife (except the cleaver) is crafted with a Japanese SLD tool steel core encased in 420 stainless steel, featuring a stunning rustic-forged finish and a full-tang black pakkawood handle with a mosaic pin.
The Hybrid Cleaver is forged from Japanese AUS-8 steel, a high-carbon stainless steel known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge retention.
Unlike traditional cleavers, this hybrid design offers two distinct edges:
- Bottom 50% – Thicker, reinforced edge for crushing bones and tough cuts.
- Top 50% – Finer edge for slicing meat, vegetables, and more delicate ingredients.
This dual-edge grind provides the best of both worlds, allowing you to butcher and prep efficiently without switching knives.
The 8” Chef Knife, 7” Bunka, and 6” Talon feature a Japanese SLD tool steel core, renowned for exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The outer layer is 420 stainless steel, giving the blade added durability and a striking, forged aesthetic.
The 8” Hybrid Cleaver is crafted from Japanese AUS-8 steel, a high-carbon stainless steel that balances toughness, wear resistance, and sharpness, making it ideal for both bone-cutting and precision slicing.
Yes! Every knife in the Kaiju Series is full tang, meaning the steel extends through the entire handle for maximum strength, balance, and durability.
Each knife is fitted with a premium black pakkawood handle, designed for comfort, water resistance, and durability. The ergonomic shape ensures a secure grip, while the mosaic pin adds an elegant finishing touch.
The rustic-forged finish enhances durability by reducing friction and preventing food from sticking to the blade. It also gives each knife a unique, battle-worn aesthetic—perfectly fitting for the Kaiju Series' raw power and precision.
To keep your Kaiju knives in top condition:
- Hand wash only – Avoid dishwashers to preserve the steel and handle.
- Dry immediately – Prevent moisture from affecting the blade.
- Store properly – Use a knife block, sheath, or magnetic strip.
- Hone regularly – Use a honing rod to maintain sharpness.
- Sharpen when needed – For best results, sharpen with a whetstone.
The Kaiju Hybrid Cleaver is designed for small to medium bones (e.g., chicken, fish, pork ribs). It is not meant for large beef bones—for those, a dedicated butcher’s cleaver is recommended.
Absolutely. The Kaiju Series is built for chefs who need high-performance blades that can withstand heavy use while maintaining sharpness and reliability. Whether in a professional kitchen or an outdoor cooking setup, these knives are designed to deliver precision and power.
To keep your Kaiju knives in top condition, wash them with water immediately after use, using only the soft side of a sponge to prevent scratches. Never leave them wet or soaked for long periods. While they are made from stainless steel with good rust resistance, improper care can lead to rust spots. Always dry them thoroughly and store them properly to maintain their longevity.
The 1.5% high-carbon core gives the Kaiju knives an exceptionally hard and razor-sharp edge, making them ideal for precision slicing. However, this also means they are more prone to chipping if misused. These knives are designed for high-performance slicing—avoid using them on bone, frozen foods, or hard surfaces to prevent damage.
