Back by popular demand, the Xoay Series 2.0 has just arrived.
This second limited run was forged with one key update in mind: a taller heel profile to provide extra knuckle clearance and a more confident, comfortable feel on the board—without losing the character that made the first run so sought after.
Each blade is hand-forged by Nguyên in the Hanoi region of Vietnam, a blacksmith we work closely with for his bold forging style and expressive work. The Xoay Series features a striking black Damascus cladding layered with bronze, nickel, and brass, wrapped around a 52100 carbon steel core—a combination chosen for its depth, contrast, and serious cutting performance.
These knives are thin behind the edge, delivering smooth, effortless cuts and excellent food release. And because every blade is forged by hand, no two are exactly alike. Damascus patterns, tone, and proportions naturally vary from knife to knife, giving each piece its own personality—something no machined blade can replicate. Images are representative; the knife you receive will be uniquely yours.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
