In designing the Katai knives, wave-like forms were used as inspiration. This is reflected in the shape of the blade and how the shape continues into the handle. The blade is entirely hand-forged from 5 layers of Japanese VG10 steel. The hammered finish on the blade is essentially 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 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 subsequently shaped. Through this process, each knife is unique in finish, size, color, and wood structure.
