About Waifu Knifu

We basically thought it was a funny name. And we were already working on making a kitchen knife. So why not?

Kiritsuke

The beginning

Two knives and a simple idea

We started this company in early 2026. We're brothers, and we wanted to build something together using what we're good at. One of us is a chef who knows what a knife needs to deliver in a real kitchen, day in and day out. The other has experience in IT, technology, and digital design. Different skills, same goal.

Paring

The craft

We don't rush the process. A knife takes the time it takes.

Every blade is made from Swedish 14C28N steel — a grade developed specifically for precision cutting tools. The handles are shaped from Mkuruti, chosen for its dark colour and natural feel.

01

Restraint

Two knives. No clutter. We design only what earns its place.

02

Affordability

Quality doesn't have to be expensive. Reasonable material choices, focus on quality.

03

Honesty

No finishes that hide, no claims that exaggerate, no trend chasing. Just the object as it is.
