Experience the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship with our traditional style knives, each piece a testament to the unparalleled skills of master artisans. These knives are not just tools, but works of art, featuring the unique Kurouchi hammered finish that will leave you in awe of its beauty and functionality.
The blade, a fusion of Shirogami carbon steel and soft iron, is engineered for exceptional sharpness and enduring edge retention, yet it remains surprisingly easy to resharpen. Its single-bevel design incorporates the Urasuki grind on the back side, enhancing its cutting precision.
The handle, crafted from Magnolia wood, is notable for its excellent water resistance, ensuring longevity and durability. The traditional D-shape design of the handle is tailored specifically for right-handed users, offering comfort and control.
Please note that each knife bears its own distinctive hammered pattern and shades of Kurouchi, as they are individually handcrafted, making your knife uniquely yours.
Given the nature of carbon steel, it is prone to rusting. We recommend a light application of oil after each use, a simple step that preserves the blade’s integrity and ensures its lasting beauty and performance.
