Knox Kiritsuke’s particular strength:


Smooth Slicing, less resistance
The 2mm thin blade and convex grind reduce resistance for effortless cuts while the spine stays strong.
Longer Edge Retention
VG10 Damascus steel with vacuum heat treatment holds its edge longer, reducing sharpening frequency.


Nightfall inspired
Inspired by the Greek myth where Chaos divides day and night, Knox embodies the night with its matte Damascus pattern and ebony handle accented by white turquoise.
3 Reasons Why Our Knives Aren’t for Everyone
We know our knives might not be the perfect fit for everyone. We want you to love your purchase, and we don’t want anyone to feel let down. So, here are a few reasons why Hephais knives might not be right for you:
We believe in being upfront about our products because we want you to love your purchase. Hephais knives are crafted with professional chefs and passionate home cooks in mind, but they might not be suitable for everyone. Here’s how to know if a Hephais knife is the right choice for you:
1. You Value Long-Lasting Quality
Hephais knives are built to last. They’re made from premium materials like VG10 and 440C stainless steel, designed to withstand daily use without losing their edge. If you’re looking for a knife you can rely on for years, Hephais is a great choice.
However, if you just need a basic knife for occasional use or prefer to replace your knife every few months, a budget option might be more practical.
2. You Take Care of Your Kitchen Tools
Our knives are crafted with precision and deserve a bit of care. This means hand washing only—never in the dishwasher. If you prefer low-maintenance kitchen tools that you can toss in the dishwasher without worry, Hephais knives may not be the best fit.
3. You Cook Regularly and Enjoy the Process
Hephais knives are designed for people who spend time in the kitchen, whether at home or in a professional setting. If cooking is your passion or profession, you’ll appreciate the balance, sharpness, and control our knives offer.
But if cooking is just a quick necessity and you don’t really care about the cutting experience, you may not see the full value of a premium knife like ours.
4. You Want Professional-Level Performance
Hephais knives are used by chefs who need consistency and precision in every cut. They’re robust, balanced, and razor-sharp—ideal for commercial kitchens and serious home cooking.
If you just need a simple knife for light, occasional use, there are more affordable options out there.
Still Unsure?
If you’re on the fence, we totally get it. Investing in a premium knife is a commitment. Check out our customer reviews to see how other cooks—both professional and hobbyists—feel about their Hephais knives. If you decide to give us a try, we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
