Overview
Cutlery produced in Tosa, Kochi Prefecture
Cutlery in Kochi Prefecture has long had its roots in practical tools for mountain forestry and agriculture.
For these reasons, Kochi originally had a large number of blacksmiths, and as a result of technical innovation by some blacksmiths based on what they learned in Sakai, knife making has made great strides in recent years.
For gentle slicing of sashimi and roasted meats
This is a knife designed for cutting sashimi. Thanks to its Single bevel blade, it cuts through the fibers and ensures clean separation from the flesh, creating a smooth surface and a mouth-watering texture. This knife features a cutting method that consists of pulling the blade while cutting. It cuts not only sashimi, but also pieces of raw or cooked meat with precision and cleanliness.
White #2 Steel from Tosa
This knife combines high-quality materials with the skilled craftsmanship of Tosa blacksmiths to deliver reliable performance and quality.
Rollers are used in part of the production process, allowing for greater production efficiency and helping keep the price accessible. During sharpening, the initial rough grinding is mechanized to save time, while the later stages are finished by hand to ensure a high-quality edge.
Durable and reasonably priced, this knife is well suited for both professional kitchens and everyday home use.

FAQ
Yes, but for online orders, we offer a free engraving service for knives only. Please select the desired engraving option, enter text and add the knife to cart. Engraving for products other than knives is only available at our physical store at Kappabashi, Tokyo.
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.
