Frequently Asked Questions
What is sintered steel?
Sintered steel is produced through powder metallurgy, where metal powders are compressed and heated below their melting point to form a solid. This process creates a finer grain structure than conventional casting, which Kasho says translates to a more durable and sharper edge.
Why is the Kasho Millennium so expensive?
The Millennium uses sintered steel (more costly than standard alloys), extensive hand finishing including mirror polishing of every surface, and individual blade matching by a master craftsman. Production is limited compared to the Design Master and Blue series.
