Migiwa

Introducing Migiwa – the new sister brand to Kasho.

Migiwa means “water’s edge” in Japanese – a place where movement meets control.

Designed for the modern stylist, Migiwa redefines ergonomics, offering absolute stability and precision. Its innovative handle allows for a natural grip, enhancing both comfort and safety. The slim profile ensures a fluid, weightless cutting experience, making every movement effortless.

Built on the heritage of KAI-KASHO, each pair is meticulously engineered for exceptional sharpness, durability, and seamless control—elevating your precision and creativity. Designed by KAI in Japan and crafted in KAI’s China factory, Migiwa is made from 9Cr18 stainless steel using MIM (Metal Injection Moulding). This high-carbon, high-chromium martensitic stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, hardness, and edge retention.

MIM production allows for high precision and minimal waste compared to traditional forging, reducing manufacturing processes and costs—making Migiwa by KAI even more accessible.

More than just a tool, Migiwa is an extension of your artistry, giving you the confidence to create flawless results, time after time. It’s an incredible entry into the KAI family, offering a tool that outperforms its competitors.
