Two knives that cover a full prep list between them: the workhorse Gyuto for the bulk of the board, the small-jobs Petty for garlic, fruit and the fine work in between. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.

Features

  • The Gyuto's curve rocks through onions and herbs while its flat drives straight through proteins.
  • The Petty steps in for peeling, hulling and anything too small for the bigger blade.
  • Edge geometry is matched across both, so the angle you learn on one carries to the other.
  • A VG-10 core runs through each blade, hardened to 60 ±2 HRC for an edge that holds.
  • Both are clad in 67 layers of Damascus, each blade carrying its own suminagashi swirl.
  • Weight is set to the job, real heft through the Gyuto, a light hand through the Petty.

An octagonal wa grip in rosewood runs through the pair, the same warm grain top to bottom.

Covered for life against manufacturing defects, with 30-day returns. Ships free from our US warehouse with fast delivery.

I'm glad to offer FREE shipping anywhere in the U.S.

Every order is packed with care and sent straight to your door, so your blade arrives ready for the kitchen.

Once it is on its way, I will send a tracking number so you can follow it the whole way home.

Every knife that leaves here, I want you to truly love. If yours isn't right for any reason, send it back within 30 days and I'll refund you. That has always been my promise.

THE CRAFTSMAN BEHIND AKITO

About Akito

I didn't grow up in a forge. I grew up watching my grandfather sharpen the same three knives for forty years, and wondering why he never seemed to need a fourth. That question eventually took me to Sakai, Japan, where blacksmiths have shaped steel for over six hundred years. I spent three years there learning one simple thing: a blade isn't finished when it's sharp, it's finished when it disappears in your hand. That's what I set out to build with Akito.

Every Akito knife is still hand-finished in small batches, tested by hand before it ever ships. I'm not chasing scale, I'm chasing the feeling of that first cut. This is the founding collection, made the way I was taught it should be made — and I'd genuinely love for it to be in your kitchen.
