The Origin of Craftsmanship

  • The moment a customer holds a knife and says, 'The cutting ability is amazing,' is the greatest joy for me.

  • For us artisans, while completing a knife is a rewarding moment, the true satisfaction comes when a customer uses it and says, 'The cutting ability is amazing.' That moment, when I see their face and hear those words, is when all the time and effort put into crafting the knife truly feels worth it.

  • A knife is not just a tool; it’s something that supports the cook and elevates the entire cooking experience. When the cutting ability is excellent, it helps preserve the integrity of the ingredients, enabling the creation of better, more delicious dishes. Hearing that joy reflected back in the customer's words is a source of immense pride for us craftsmen.

  • To hear, "The cutting ability is amazing," is not only about a sharp blade but also about how the knife fits comfortably in the user's hand, becoming a trusted tool in any situation. It’s a trust we must honor, and I will continue to craft each knife with care and dedication, ensuring it never fails to meet that expectation.
