Award-Winning Performance Knives

Hast’s Range of Functional Knives is Modern and Minimalist

— August 31, 2022 — Art & Design
Hast—a brand whose name in Sweedish means speedy and fast—boasts a range of functional performance knives that are also aesthetically pleasing to look at. The capsule includes a six-inch Utility Knife (also known as a Vegetable Knife), a Serrated Bread Knife, an eight-inch Chef's Knife, a 3.5-inch Paring Knife, and a five-inch Boning Knife. All of the performance knives have "an award-winning modern design." They are made out of patented Matrix Powder Steel. Hast maintains that its knives are ultra-sharp, durable, versatile, and easy to care for.

The Hast brand is what it is now after a three-year development journey. Originally, it made its start on Kickstarter in 2019 and the founder is Elliot Cao.
