We're excited to partner with J. Kenji López-Alt on his signature knife, the KAN x Kenji Shitoku™. It's been years in the making, and we think you'll love the result. In Kenji's own words: The KAN x Kenji Shitoku™ Knife reimagines the classic santoku by adding a fourth virtue—motion—through a deeper curve that allows effortless rock-chopping. Based on the hand-forged Vonhelmick Shitoku™ I created with blade smith Gordon Hanson, it blends Japanese precision with Western fluidity in a 67-layer stainless Damascus design that’s light, balanced, and wickedly sharp. It’s a knife that feels like an extension of your hands—as natural as the rhythm of cooking, and as beautiful as it is functional. —J.
