The Kai Shun Kagerou collection is a celebration of Japanese tradition elevated with cutting-edge innovation.

Meaning “heat haze” in Japanese, Kagerou takes its name from the ethereal rippling effect reflected in its striking two-tone blades. Each knife is crafted using KAI’s advanced Composite Blade Technology, combining a dual core of flexible VG2 steel with ultra-hard VG10 steel, clad in 70 layers of Damascus for exceptional sharpness, durability, and food release.

Blades feature a mirror-polished upper section flowing seamlessly into the Damascus steel patterns below, capturing the beauty of rising heat. Paired with symmetrical grey-marbled PakkaWood handles, resin-treated for comfort and moisture resistance, every knife balances elegance with practical performance. With seamless bolsters, forged end caps, and ergonomic precision, Shun Kagerou knives embody artistry and functionality in perfect harmony.

Handcrafted in Japan and presented in premium gift boxes, this range is designed for those who value culinary tools as both instruments and treasures.
