Hokiyama Knives

Hokiyama Knives
Hokiyama Cutlery (Hokiyama Knife) is a leading knife brand in Japan’s Tosa region. Hokiyama is a company with over 800 years of tradition, technology, and spirit. It started with the production of Katana swords and now focuses on producing knives. It constantly improves its knives by developing new technologies and relentlessly challenging itself with new innovative materials and new production methods. An example is the multi-layered Damascus steel plate created by combining mechanical rolling and traditional hand-forging methods.
The knives of the Tosa region have an 800-year history of traditional industry originating from Japanese blacksmithing. Various kitchen knives as well as agricultural, forestry, and gardening tools were produced here, and products that were forged and heat-treated with traditional techniques are highly trusted for their durability and sharpness.
After many years of quality evaluation, in 2007, “Tosa Uchihamono” (Tosa’s hand-forged knives and tools) received the Regional Brand certification from the Japan Patent Office (similar to a knife quality mark).
Nowadays, the technical innovations and quality of Hokiyama Knife are highly regarded both in Japan and abroad. Hokiyama is always working with the latest technologies and materials to bring knife sharpness to a new level.
