Hammering is the tradition way for making Japanese knives, and the hammering marks add to the beauty and function of these knives, since the markes make air pocket that prevent food from sticking to the knives during cutting. The surface of the blades are buffed for shiny mirror-like finish, that adds more to the beauty of the knives. Each knife from the Supreme Hammered has a unique hammering pattern because they are individually handmade following traditional techniques.

The design of the handle offers ultimate comfort and grip when using the knives, and the Pakkawood is very dense so it does not absorb liquids. The handles are also decorated with a mosaic pin to ensure strong fitting and to add a touch of traditional Japanese beauty to the knives
