[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.
