At KATSU KNIVES, we are proud to unveil our latest exquisite creation, theĀ GENKAI. Ā
This remarkable creation is not just a knife, it's a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional blade culture and modern functionality, brought to life through a collaborative effort with the visionary knife designer, Fabian Hobbelen.
The Designerās Edge - Fabian Hobbelen isnāt just a knife designer, heās a storyteller in steel. As the only active stop-motion creator in the EDC world, his work blurs the line between tool and art.Ā Collaborating directly with KATSU Knives, Fabian injects cinematic precision into every blade, ensuring GENKAI isnāt just carriedāitās experienced.
"My goal? To craft knives that whisper history while screaming innovation".
The GENKAI Philosophy - "Genkai" (éē) means the limit where tradition meets transformation. This knife redefines modern EDC by fusing katana geometry and Higonokami-inspired deployment with cutting-edge materials and precision engineering. Its harpoon swedge, angular silhouette, and star-shaped recesses embody the tension between heritage and innovationānot excess, but surgical precision at the boundary of function, tradition, and modernity.
GENKAI - Hono & Tsuki: The multicolored carbon fiber handle resembles a tapestry of aurora-lit night skies, while the hand-inlaid white mother-of-pearl gleams like shards of moonlight cascading into the cosmosāeach grip a silent dialogue with the universe.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our knives are built to last. Cleaning and caring for your knife will maintain performance and enhance the life of your knife.
Tips for Caring Folding Knives
- Keep your knife dry; that means the entire knife, not just the blade.
- Keep your knife clean, particularly moving parts and locking devices.
- Keep your knife oiled; especially pivot points and the blade. Oil at least twice a year.
- Keep your knife sharp; a sharp blade is safer than a dull one.
- Again, store your knife in a dry place.
Tips for Caring Kitchen Knives
- Always use an appropriate cutting board in the kitchen to get the most out of the sharpness of your knives.
- Cleaning knives after each use will keep them in the best condition and promote food safety.
- Knives require a safe dry storage place, and a knife block is perfect for storing knives.
