Great quality is the consistent pursuit of KAI since the day it was founded. For over a hundred years, we respect what nature gives us, tapping into the true powers of mountains, waters and soil and integrating practical aesthetics with refined craftsmanship. Meanwhile, we give back what we have been generously offered to the society. Today, the KAI product lines which keep innovating and progressing are more widely used in our lives. Through the guidance of ultimate craftsmanship of cutlery making, people are led back to the fun in cooking, and more people feel the love and care put into food. The beauty tools are practically designed to help people find out how beautiful they are. More women are encouraged to become confident on being themselves.
