  • Our Philosophy: Three Wins

Kurouchi Knives

Blackened by quenching and marked by the blacksmith's hammer, Kurouchi knives are left unpolished. Razor-sharp and rugged, they have superior rust resistance to polished blades.

Damascus Knives

When sharpened or polished, their beautiful and stylish patterns change. Eventually, your knife will be unique. We also offer high carbon steel (Kurouchi) and polished (Suminagashi) blades.
