The Patina Collection | Starter Kit | G10 Handles

 More payment options

Introducing Koi Industrial Knives. Designed for the professional kitchen, we have taken some of our favourite designs and reinforced them with G10 handles and forced patina finish. This improves their wear resistance, allowing the knives to take on some of the brutal challenges a commercial kitchen has in store.

The Starter Kit includes three powerful and versatile shapes; The Dingo, The Wallaby, and The Platypus. Each are multipurpose but also excel in their own areas. The Dingo has a stunning profile with upturned spine at the tip to deliver better slicing action with each cut. The Wallaby has a 18.5cm cutting edge with deep curve up to its tip, allowing you to roll cut even larger items with ease. To finish off the collection, we have The Platypus. Designed specifically for vegetables, it has a flatter cutting edge which is great for chopping and coming down on ingredients with a good amount of heft in a compact size.

This kit will handle most tasks you need to tackle, and will maintain a sharp cutting edge for much longer.

VG10 high carbon Japanese steel construction with forced patina acid wash.

The high carbon content core ensures a razor-sharp cutting edge, clad with stainless steel for protection. We have opted for a forced patina finish where the knife will develop character over its lifetime, but will maintain its corrosion resistance.

G10 is a heavy duty composite material made from a fibreglass and resin laminate. It is used in tactical applications in the military like pistol grips and knife handles because of its hardwearing properties and indestructibility. It is a fantastic material for kitchen knives, where the feel and finish provides good grip even when wet or oily.
