Bokashi Steel Knives Review
By Bobby B. | August 18, 2020 | Knife Brands
Bokashi Steel is a relatively young company, starting back in 2013 and still making a name for themselves in the industry. One look at the pictures below and you can see the passion that goes into making them. On the surface they don’t appear to be just “another cheap knife”, but that’s what we’re here to find out, right? Welcome to our Bokashi Steel knives review!
We’re going to break down a bit about the company behind the knives and share with you how the knives are made and the materials used. We’ll talk about their warranty so we know how Bokashi Steel feels about their own products, and we’ll also talk about their vision for the future.
Who is Bokashi Steel?
Bokashi Steel is led by their head chef, Oliver. They’re passionate about cooking and innovating the tools needed to be a successful home chef. One of Oliver’s credos if you will is, “A chef is only as good as the tools he uses.” We totally agree, and this of course starts with their knives!
Bokashi focuses almost exclusively on kitchen knives and knife accessories (cutting boards, magnetic knife blocks, and a sharpening stone, etc – more on those below). At BladeAdvisor, we always admire a company that can focus on being really good at one thing rather than “sort of good” at many things. When we compare kitchen knives, it’s almost always those brands that focus solely on them that have the best knives.
Many of you will be very happy to hear that it appears these Japanese-style knives are actually made in Japan.

Now for the fun stuff. Time to talk about Bokashi Steel’s knives. If you didn’t catch the mention of it above, or recognize the name or logo as Japanese, surprise – Bokashi Steel makes Japanese-inspired knives! Like many Japanese knives, Bokashi takes care to focus on both the aesthetics and performance, understanding that both are important. Here’s a quick review of a couple knives in their “KASHI Series” to help get you acquainted.
