KYOCERA’S Premier Elite Series features their finest HIP ceramic blade for superior strength and sharpness. The blade’s etched design is reminiscent of a traditional Japanese Zen sand garden (Karesansui) and is perfectly matched to a magnificent black Pakkawood handle of a flat sided oval handle design is inspired by the shape of a Koban, an old Japanese gold coin.

Contamination free and chemically inert, the blades will never rust or brown food. Lightweight and perfectly balanced, Kyocera knives are ideal for everyday slicing of boneless meats, fruits and vegetables.
