Thanks to a uniquely Japanese manufacturing method, we have achieved incredible sharpness and ease of maintenance.
Normally, hunting knife blades are made from a single material.
However, Japanese hunting knives combine with carbon steel for cutting, and soft iron for easy sharpening.
This unique structure, derived from the methods used to make Japanese swords, not only applies to hunting knives but also to kitchen knives. This is one of the reasons why Japanese kitchen knives are so popular.


Crafted by Japanese Artisans

Handmade blades crafted with dedication by skilled artisans with excellent traditional techniques exude a warmth that industrial products lack. The quality of these forged blades is captivating. At our shop, we offer products from "Mr. Komatsu and Mr. Ikeuchi", who are one of the few blacksmiths who have inherited such a secret technique with a history of 400 years.


Using Japan’s best of AOGAMI & SHIROGAMI Steel Materials


AOGAMI & SHIROGAMI Steel

The process of attaching steel to soft iron by heating and hammering creates a blade that is easy to sharpen and maintains its edge for a long time. This is achieved through precise hammering techniques and meticulous temperature control. The steel used is the hard and sharp “Japanese steel.”


The Joy of Sharpening


Sharpening

As mentioned earlier, the unique Japanese structure makes it easy to sharpen and maintain. Since sharpness preferences vary, you can customize the blade’s sharpness to your liking by sharpening it with a whetstone. Additionally, when the blade becomes dull, you don’t have to dispose of it; you can sharpen it and continue using it for a long time.
