Western Style

The Western style knives we present to you in Korin’s collection were designed to have the versatility and functionality needed in Western cooking and have sturdy double-ground blades.

In Japan, Western-style knives were developed to meet the needs of Japanese chefs preparing non-Japanese cuisine. Today, Japanese knife makers are using advanced manufacturing processes such as ‘sub-zero tempering’ and premium trademark-formulated knife steels to produce exceptional Western-style knives. They are lightweight and thin with excellent balance. They have straight, true blades made from carbon and high-carbon, stain-resistant steels that have the kodo (hardness) and nebari (resiliency) found in every truly great blade. Much of the finishing work and edge crafting on Japanese Western-style knives is done by hand.
