Have you ever wondered about the creator behind your knife? KIREAJI knives are not mere tools; they are pieces of art meticulously crafted by master artisans from Sakai City. Each KIREAJI knife carries the soul of its creator, a testament to centuries-old tradition and unparalleled skill.

The manufacturing process of high-end Japanese knives is driven by the exceptional craftsmanship of artisans. Through forging, quenching, and sharpening, these artisans apply their extensive experience and superior skills to bring out the knife's maximum performance. These steps are critical in achieving not only exceptional sharpness but also the durability and resilience that high-end Japanese knives are renowned for.

In the forging process, high-temperature steel is hammered and shaped to create the knife's basic form. The subsequent quenching process, involving precise temperature control, heats the knife and rapidly cools it to achieve the perfect balance of hardness and toughness.

Finally, during the sharpening stage, the artisans hand-sharpen the blade to achieve astonishing sharpness.

Through these meticulous steps, high-end Japanese knives attain unparalleled sharpness and exceptional durability. However, the sharpness of a knife is not determined by these elements alone.

The sharpness of a knife is determined by the following four elements:
Steel Material × The Creator & Crafting Process × Edge Sharpening × Usage

While the quality of the steel is, of course, important, it alone is not enough. Only through the manufacturing process carried out by skilled artisans and the application of proper edge sharpening can the true potential of the material be fully realized. Furthermore, how the user handles the knife is an essential element in maintaining its performance.
