Koa Kitchen Knife — Crafted With Purpose and Precision

The Koa Kitchen Knife embodies everything Gene stands for as a bladesmith: clean design, honest craftsmanship, and performance you can feel the moment it hits the cutting board. Every blade is shaped, ground, and sharpened by hand, giving this knife a presence that’s both refined and confidently functional.

The Koa is built for cooks who want a reliable, beautifully balanced tool that transitions effortlessly between delicate slicing and heavy prep work. Its silhouette is straightforward yet elegant, matched with a richly grained koa wood handle that brings warmth and character without unnecessary flash. Whether you're chopping vegetables, trimming meat, or prepping full meals, the Koa delivers consistency, control, and a smooth, effortless cut every time.
