Our handmade Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi Blue Steel #1 knives are crafted with extraordinary skill by our master artisans, showcasing a blend of exceptional performance and exquisite beauty. Aoko Blue Steel #1, with a remarkable hardness on the Rockwell scale of 64, is intricately forged with iron to create stunning wave-like patterns that reflect the artistry involved in its creation. The term Namiuchi, meaning "wave forged," perfectly captures the craftsmanship that goes into each knife, as our artisans harmonize aesthetics with the highest quality materials and unparalleled skill.

Each Yoshihiro Aonamiuchi Blue Steel #1 knife is complemented by a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Premium Ebony wood handle, ensuring both comfort and elegance. Additionally, a protective wooden sheath, known as a Saya, is included, which not only safeguards the knife when not in use but also enhances its overall appearance.

The Kiritsuke knife is a traditional Japanese all-purpose chef's knife that resembles a sword, embodying versatility and precision. Its length allows for the seamless cutting of sushi and sashimi, similar to a Yanagi, while the wide blade provides the dexterity needed for a variety of culinary tasks. The sword tip contributes to the knife's balance, making it ideal for intricate and precise knife work, perfect for creating exquisite presentations. Even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional, ensuring that every meal becomes a masterpiece.
