Rei translates to “black” or “dark” in Japanese – a fitting name for this exclusive knife series with a bold character. The blade is constructed from 69 layers of Damascus steel, featuring a hard VG10 steel core at the edge and softer steel in the outer layers. This combination ensures excellent sharpness, balance, and durability.

What makes the Rei series stand out is the black DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon), giving the knife its distinctive dark finish. This advanced surface treatment increases hardness and wear resistance while protecting the blade against acids and corrosion. With a hardness of 61 HRC, the knife delivers precise and reliable performance.

The handle is made from black and red pakkawood – a durable, water-resistant, and hygienic material that combines the feel of wood with modern strength. The angular, traditionally Japanese design and decorative samurai emblem emphasize the authentic craftsmanship.

The vegetable knife features a nearly rectangular blade, allowing you to cut straight through ingredients without pushing or pulling. Ideal for precise and efficient chopping, especially when full control is required, such as with onions or root vegetables.
