Each knife in the Kietsu Lava range is made with Damascus steel comprising 67 layers, incorporating ribbons of brass and copper to create our signature Lava Damascus pattern - a dynamic, flame-like ripple unique to every blade. At its core lies VG10 high-carbon stainless steel, prized for its balance of sharpness, toughness and corrosion resistance.
With a Rockwell hardness of 59–61 HRC and an edge honed to 16-18 degrees, Kietsu knives hold their razor-sharp edge and deliver a clean, confident cut, time after time.

The Handle

Crafted from resin-cast carbon fibre, fused with delicate highlights of copper foil to echo the fiery spirit of the blade. Each one is triple-riveted with copper pins, not just for strength, but to reflect the artisanal detail that defines Kietsu.
Ergonomically shaped and perfectly balanced, the handle offers control and comfort for both seasoned chefs and home enthusiasts alike.
