Kaname Japanese Knives
Total Food Equipment has been trusted to bring Kai Shun Japanese chef knives to New Zealand kitchens for nearly 20 years. Unlike blades that are merely “designed in Japan” or claim to use “Japanese steel,” Kaname knives are the real thing — handcrafted in Japan by skilled artisans.
The Kaname series is a premium line from Shun, crafted with a VGXeos cutting core for exceptional sharpness and edge retention, layered between stainless steel for durability and a satin finish. Each blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16° double-bevel edge, achieving hardness of 60–62 HRC for outstanding performance.
Handles are made from octagonal black PakkaWood, offering balance, comfort, and a timeless traditional look. Built for chefs who value precision, beauty, and longevity, Kaname is the knife for those who want nothing less than true Japanese craftsmanship.
