Kudo, intriguing at first glance,
Shall we take a closer look at each one?
The very beginning of cooking, the knife—one of the most common yet long-lasting tools.
Because it is a tool that requires direct hand force, when developing Kudo, we aimed for a grip that anyone would find comfortable.We worked hard to achieve an ideal thickness and streamlined lines for a grip that fits perfectly in your hand. We made it happen.
A grip sensation never before seen in the world,
Perfectly down to a 0.1mm difference.
Rather than using an existing knife, we continuously communicated with the manufacturer about everything from materials to shape and grip.We made countless adjustments down to 0.1mm and produced it through numerous tests. It was completed.
You can feel it the moment you hold it.
A good knife made from high-spec materials usually has a substantial weight. However, for user convenience, after extensive research on the grip and dozens of revisions,we achieved a grip that "feels light in weight." We perfected it.It will feel much lighter on your wrist and less burdensome than its actual weight.
A knife with its center of gravity in the middle is hard to find.
You probably won't find it easily.
Kudo isThe center of gravity is in the middle, so even with frequent chopping, it feels lighter than its actual weight,
and does not strain your wrist, minimizing fatigue.
Even when cutting hard or tough ingredients,
you can cut without using much force.
Kuza insists on using only stainless steel,
and the knives made by Kuza are different.
Europe's largest stainless steel manufacturer, boasting the highest quality carbon steel from Outokumpu,material 1.4116, was used to make the blade, and with the addition of molybdenum, the grip was made using POSCO's 316 stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion and acid resistance.316 stainless steel for the grip was used.
Have you ever checked the material when purchasing a knife?
Many people use knives labeled simply as stainless steel without knowing the exact material. But when Kuza, who insists on only stainless steel, makes a knife, it's different!
High Carbon German Steel 1.4116
& Stainless 316 material grip
Outokumpu genuine certificate & POSCO genuine certificate
High Carbon German Steel 1.4116 is Europe's finest stainless steel,A specification found only in high-end premium knives. Kudo uses this genuine material from Outokumpu to create a 'luxury knife.'
Genuine materials make a clear difference from the start!
So you can choose and use with confidence,
All Kuja products have received every inspection certificate.
High-end details,
We even check this crucial aspect of the knife.
For a good knife, always check the hardness.
Hardness simply indicates how well the cutting edge is maintained. Too high hardness can chip the blade, while too low hardness makes it dull easily. Also, good hardness can only be achieved with quality materials and advanced technology.
Hardness (HRC) must be checked to ensure the knife's durability.
Kudo is confident even when compared to famous brand knives,crafted at the optimal hardness of 58, and,finished with a 15-degree V-shape sharpening process, allowing you to prepare ingredients naturally and easily. In addition, Kudois designed considering retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening,so you can manage and use it easily and conveniently at home.
15-degree V-Shape Sharpening
For optimal cutting power and delicate slicing, it is provided after undergoing a 15-degree v-shape sharpening process.
Effortlessly cut through delicate ingredients as well as thick materials with ease.
"Huh? Why do good knives cut so well?"
The secret lies in these detailed finishing touches. Now, easily slice not only vegetables but also raw chicken, meat, fish, and more!
The knife that touches ingredients the most,
Should have no seams.
Since knives are the most commonly used tool in the kitchen, they often come into contact with food and water. As a result, even the smallest gaps can lead to rust or corrosion.
Kudo is a seamless, bolster-free, integrated design.
Take a look at the smooth Kudo. It is crafted as a seamless, integrated piece without assembly joints or a bolster, making it easy to maintain hygienically.
Bolster and seams,
Made it difficult to use knives for a long time.
Over time, knives become dull, and if there are bolsters and seams, sharpening them becomes cumbersome. The knife doesn't sharpen well, so you end up repeatedly buying new ones.
Kudo has no bolster or seams,
So you can maintain the blade and use it for a long time.
Its integrated structure allows for smooth sharpening with any sharpener. A good knife, maintained over time, will become your lifelong companion.
Kudo's first full lineup, check out each knife by type.
No matter how good the material, the blade will inevitably become dull with use.
Kudo is designed so you can use it to the very end.Unlimited repair service provided With just a simple request, you can always use it like a brand new knife!
But that's not all.
Another reward that received a lot of love in our previous funding,
"Kuja All-Stainless Scissors" is here to introduce.
After over a year of research, we made it ourselves to create the most ideal scissors.
With a total length of 22.5cm,an optimized blade length was designed so that force is applied all the way to the tip.
A weight and grip that are not too heavy were achieved through many trials and errors.
Created for preparing healthy ingredients,experience Kuja scissors for yourself.
Scissors can't be made carelessly.The birth of all-stainless scissors!
No welding,entirely stainless steel with a thickness of 3.5T, and a hardness of around 53(HRC).
The setting handle isSUS420J1, the blade is made of more corrosion-resistant SUS420J2.
We also created a design that focuses on the basics by removing rarely used features.
Designed to fit the human hand, it delivers powerful cutting force with minimal effort.
Minimizes hand fatigue even during prolonged use.
If the blade is too short, it becomes inconvenient when cutting kimchi or thick ingredients,
and if it is too long, force does not reach the tip of the blade.We designed it to find the optimal length.
With a 5:5 golden ratio, the hinge is positioned exactly at the center of the scissors.
It opens up to a maximum angle of 125°, and does not separate even beyond 100°.
One side of the blade is made with a fine 0.5mm serrated edge,
to cut fish, meat, and other foods.Prevents food ingredients from slipping.
Detachable scissors for improved hygiene.
The two blades separate, leaving no place for foreign substances to get stuck.
Prevents food from getting trapped and avoids hygiene issues.Allows for thorough cleaning. We do.
A spring is placed inside the rivet to prevent loosening even after long-term use,
It helps maintain consistent cutting power of the scissors. It does.
Please pay attention once more.
Kudo has even prepared things like this.

- Maker Introduction
Hello, this is Kuja.
Currently, we operate KZ Co., Ltd. and are creating stainless steel kitchenware to promote a healthier food culture. All of Kuja's products are developed directly from the consumer's perspective, and we strive to provide good quality and reasonable prices so that many people can use them. In addition, to continue sharing information about stainless steel, we provide accurate information and usage guides not only at the point of sale but also through YouTube videos (YouTube 'Kuja's Kitchen') and Naver Cafe (Naver 'Kuja's Kitchen'), so that supporters can communicate directly and find guidance when using the products themselves.
On Wadiz, Kuja Pan has conducted a total of 14 crowdfunding projects that each raised over 100 million won,
We have received much love, including consecutive Maker Awards, interviews, and store openings, for which we are truly grateful.
- Reason for Project Launch
As mentioned in the maker introduction, we are developing various stainless steel products to promote a healthier food culture. We wanted to introduce Kudo, which was carefully crafted to ensure health from the very start of cooking—ingredient preparation—so that our supporters could experience it as well.
- FAQ
Q. Is there an additional shipping fee for Jeju Island and remote areas?
→ If you would like your order delivered to Jeju Island or remote areas, please add the "Remote Area Shipping Fee" at the bottom of the reward section when funding.
Q. Can it be sterilized with boiling water?
→ Kudo is made entirely of stainless steel, so it can be fully sterilized with boiling water from the blade to the handle. Please make sure to dry it completely after sterilization before storing. If you add baking soda during boiling, use only pure baking soda (not mixed with other ingredients), add about one spoon, and boil for 5–10 minutes. Please note that using too much baking soda or boiling for too long may cause the product's shine to fade.
Q. Do I need to remove the polishing compound?
→ This product is handmade and can be used immediately after washing with a neutral detergent without removing any polishing compound.
Q. Is it dishwasher safe?
→ Kudo is made entirely of stainless steel and can be used in a dishwasher. However, due to the characteristics of high-carbon stainless steel, prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity may cause rust, and strong rotation during washing may damage the blade due to collisions with foreign objects. Therefore, we do not recommend using a dishwasher.
Q. Can left-handed people use it?
→ Except for the P-04, Kudo knives are double-edged and suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Left-handed people can use them as well.
Q. How should I store it?
→ Due to the nature of knives, prolonged exposure to water or strong acids (such as vinegar) may cause corrosion. Therefore, after use, please make sure to remove any moisture and store the knife in a dry condition.
Q. How do exchanges and after-sales service (A/S) work?
→ Please contact and submit your inquiry through Wadiz messages.
