Do you know one of the biggest reasons people avoid cooking at home?
They have dull knives that they can’t keep sharp.
Use it a few times… and it’s as dull as soup spoon.

It is a well-known fact that dull knives are more dangerous to use than sharp knives,
They require more force to cut through food, which leads to slippage and increased risk of cuts, punctures and gashes

On top of that, most mass produced knives are heavy, or just plain uncomfortable to hold.
These are but a few reasons why I launched the Octopod knife line, featuring Japanese steel… and now there is a limited time upgrade.

In Japan, legit knives are made using a traditional forging method called "honyaki."
One of the key characteristics is they are made from a single piece of steel, which gives them a ⬆️ sharpness, durability and precision compared to factory made or “stamped” knives.

In addition, luxe 🇯🇵 steel chef knives are made with a great attention to detail by skilled artisans with years of experience
The handle of the knife is also of great importance, usually made of precious woods, horn or bone to create a luxurious look and feel to the knife.

It is a time-consuming and skillful process, but the end result is a knife that is highly prized by professional chefs and serious home cooks for its exceptional sharpness, durability, and beauty
What are most home cooks used to?
Factory made, or mass-produced, knives.
These are often made with lower-quality materials, such as lower-grade stainless steel, that may not hold a sharp edge as well or be as durable as knives made with higher-quality materials.

Also a higher chance of improper heat treatment which can affect their ability to hold a sharp edge (dull faster) and make them more prone to chipping or breaking.
Further, assembly line production may be more efficient for churning out numbers but the end product will not be as precise or well-crafted as knives made by hand.
Many blades have a burr on the blade straight out of the box results in a dull blade after the first use. 😡

I fell in love with 🇯🇵 hand-made blades not only for their sharpness but because they feel so light in the hand, the knife feels like an extension of your arm.
This is exactly how a quality knife should feel in the hands of a cook. Effortless, smooth and automatic.

You’ll hear professional chefs say “let the knife do the work”, so then why do I want to be lugging around a heavy blade that feels like a weight?
This is my beef with European knives.

Lighter weight Japanese chef knives often have a different center of gravity, and balance, than heavier European knives which makes them better for tasks that require precision and control. You feel nimble and agile with the blade in your hand.
The blades themselves are also thinner which means less resistance and friction when cutting through ingredients.
Did you know lighter weight Japanese chef knives are often preferred by home cooks who want a knife that is easy to handle and maneuver for everyday use?

You’ll notice on most high-end 🇯🇵 forged knives an octagonal handle, known as a “Wa” handle
Once you use this style of handle there’s no going back
They are extremely ergonomic but also balance the blade’s center of gravity for smooth & effortless slicing, dicing and chopping.
