Time-Honored Craft, Contemporary Excellence
Traditional Japanese knife making is steeped in respect for the craft, where patience and precision converge. Every Dynasty Series knife honors this legacy. Forged using the renowned San Mai technique, each blade features a hard Japanese AUS-10 steel core sandwiched between softer layers of stainless steel.
The core provides razor-sharp edge retention, while the outer layers deliver resilience and protect against corrosion or chips. This results in a blade tough enough for modern kitchens while maintaining timeless aesthetics.

Serbian Cleaver | 12.8 in | 7.9 in | 3.9 in | 0.1 in |
Chef Knife | 13.2 in | 8.1 in | 2.0 in | 0.1 in |

The Essence of San Mai Steel
“San Mai” means “three layers.” The hard carbon steel core delivers sharpness and edge retention, while softer outer layers improve flexibility and protect the blade. The result? Smoother slicing and unmatched reliability with every cut.
