[Features]

Knife production in Kochi Prefecture has long had its roots in practical tools for mountain forestry and agriculture.
For this reason, Kochi originally had a large number of blacksmiths. To work on technical innovations, some blacksmiths trained in Sakai, Osaka and knife production in Kochi have made great strides in recent years.
These knives are made of high quality blade materials and the exceptional skills of the blacksmiths. Rollers are used in part of the manufacturing process, which allows them to produce more knives at a more affordable price. The “Aratogi” procedure (sharpening by rough stone) is done by a machine to shorten the production time and the other sharpening procedures are done by hand, which results in fine blade edge.
[Precaution]
- NOT dishwasher safe
- To prevent rust, thoroughly wipe the knife after washing.
- Please read the instructions before usage.

Most of the chipping can be repaired by re-sharpening the blade. We offer a fee-based knife sharpening service. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us using the inquiry form. Blades can chip by cutting hard ingredients such as bones, seeds or frozen food, dropping and mishandling, or stabbing into hard cutting boards.
All knives we handle can be repaired with the exception of knives that are severely damaged. Repairing chipping and removing rust will restore sharpness and allow you to use your knives for a longer period of time. We also offer a fee-based knife sharpening service.
