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
This edition pairs the striking beauty of our Lava Damascus steel with mixed burl wood handles. Each handle showcases a unique natural grain and pattern — no two are alike — shaped for comfort and control. A steel endstop, embossed with the Kietsu logo, adds balance, durability, and a final mark of craftsmanship.
