Ajikataya handmade japanese knives

If you're looking for handcrafted Japanese knives forged by a famous family, you've come to the right place! Ajikataya knives are the work of the Hinoura family, led by Mutsumi and her father Tsukasa. The Hinoura family began forging high-end Japanese knives in the early 20th century, using traditional forging methods. These techniques have been passed down from generation to generation, and are still applied today, with the aim of offering Japanese knives that meet today's performance requirements. Mutsumi Hinoura forges Japanese kitchen knives with the help of his father, who trained him for almost 20 years. You'll enjoy a gyuto hinoura knife with a razor-sharp edge thanks to a San Maï blade with a core of Shirogami #2 steel. Their Black Nashiji finish may seem simple, but it's a finish that requires a great deal of skill. Ajikataya chef's and utility knives feature a traditional octagonal olive wood handle with a black buffalo horn bolster. Comfortable grip, maneuverability and elegance are the watchwords of Hinoura Ajikataya knives! Discover also knives forged by Tsukasa Hinoura!
