Japanese Knives

Japanese steel is the stuff of legend, the finest forged blades having been carried by shogun, samurai and the Imperial Guard so many centuries ago. After World War II, Japanese master blacksmiths turned their skills to knifemaking, hand-forging some of the finest cutlery in the world. Known for their superior steel quality, elegance, and amazingly sharp edges, Japanese knives will perform beautifully for generations.
