In designing the Katai knives, wave-like shapes were used as inspiration. This is reflected in the shape of the blade and how the form continues into the handle. The blade is entirely hand-forged in 5 layers of Japanese VG10 steel. The hammer finish on the blade is basically the same as the other series. However, it has undergone an additional finishing process using a very fine hammer. This method of processing is indeed much more intensive, but results in a refined look with a completely unique appearance. The handle, in turn, is made from burl wood. The wood is first filled with resin, then pressed, and finally shaped. This process makes each knife unique in finish, size, color, and wood structure.
