An In depth look

Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Introducing

Shiro Kamo

Though not widely known internationally, Shiro Kamo holds a highly respected position among Japan’s knife-making elite. Awarded the prestigious title of Dento-Kogeshi (Master of Traditional Crafts) at just 45—a rare honour shared by only a handful of artisans in the Echizen area, including masters like Takeshi Saji and Katsushige Anryu—Kamo-san’s skill and dedication to traditional craftsmanship are exceptional.

Currently serving as the president of the renowned Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, Kamo-san produces knives admired for their consistently precise grinds, refined blade finishes, and meticulous attention to detail. His expertise with steels, particularly his celebrated heat treatment of R2 stainless steel, ensures blades with phenomenal cutting performance and outstanding edge retention.
