Kajiwara Kurouchi

Kajiwara-san is experienced enough to know that life is very short. Wasting him with work that does not bring the desired effect is an unforgivable luxury in his understanding. Therefore, he focused his small-scale family production on the demanding processing of the best materials. The gems that come from his workshop are so sought after that customers usually wait for them for one to two years. They know that they will get an honest product for a fair price.

The basis of Kajiwara Kurouchi knives is a core made of top steel Hitachi Aogami 2, which with its extreme hardness / 63 HRC / ensures long blade life. The blade has an unpolished black finish, which makes the handwork of a blacksmith master stand out best. The exclusive character of the knife is underlined by an oval handle made of noble rosewood with a ferrule made of pakka wood. Aogami steel is known for its high carbon content. As it is not an anti-corrosion material, it requires maintenance in the form of thorough drying and application of a thin layer of oil (Hamono Abura, Camellia oil) after use of the knife. Possible color instability / patina / is a natural property of this material.

Due to the limited capacity of small series manual production, we have only a limited number of these knives. Thank you for understanding.
