Hokiyama Knives

Hokiyama Knives

Hokiyama Cutlery (Hokiyama Knife) is a leading knife brand in the Japanese Tosa region. Hokiyama is a company with tradition, technology, and spirit, with a history of over 800 years. It started with the production of Katana swords and now focuses on knife manufacturing. It continuously improves its knives through the development of new technologies and constant challenges with innovative materials and new production methods. An example is the multi-layered plate made of Damascus steel created by combining mechanical rolling and traditional hand forging methods.

Tosa region knives have an 800-year history of traditional industry derived from Japanese blacksmithing. Various kitchen knives as well as agricultural, forestry, and gardening tools were made here, and products forged and heat-treated using traditional techniques are highly trusted for their durability and sharpness.

After many years of quality assessment, in 2007 "Tosa Uchihamono" (hand-forged knives and tools of Tosa) received the Regional Brand certification from the Japan Patent Office (similar to a quality mark for knives).

Nowadays, the technical innovations and quality of Hokiyama Knife are highly valued both in Japan and abroad. Hokiyama always works with the latest technologies and materials to bring knife sharpness to a new level.
