The Origin of Craftsmanship
-
A knife infused with the soul of the craftsman, loved as a lifetime companion.
-
A knife is more than just a tool. Each one is crafted with care, each strike of the hammer filled with our soul. Creating knives that can be used for a lifetime is both our pride and our responsibility as craftsmen. With use, our knives mold to the user’s hand, becoming almost like an extension of the chef—that is the "lifetime companion" we strive to create.
-
Even after years of use, when the blade has worn down, it can still be cherished and renewed through sharpening. A knife that shares time with its user grows beyond being a mere tool; it forms a bond with its owner. As long as there are those who feel the spirit within the knife and walk alongside it, we, too, will continue to infuse our soul into each blade we create.
