Hand-forged Japanese knives: a seamless combination of traditional technique and cutting-edge technology

These Japanese knives feature the traces of the hammer hitting the metal to create it, which is why it has a blackened tone, as well as seamless bamboo handles in oval or octagonal shapes.
To make thin slices, grasp the front of the handle and move the knife lightly. To cut through something hard, hold the back part of the handle and use more force.

The blackened tone on the blade is an oxide film, which serves not only a decorative purpose but also protects the blade from rusting. This high-quality knife is made with the techniques of seasoned artisans, which means they are imbued with quality down to the finest detail. The result is a stunning combination of the traditional and the innovative.
