Japanese Chef Knife www.cooljapan-products.com
www.cooljapan-products.com • Knife production was present in Japan from the 5th century. Due to the Shogunate, the Samurais were revered and sword-making was a very important occupation. From the 16th century, modernization of Japan began and the sway of Samurais declined. So the revered Samurai sword makers channeled their rich legacy into the art of Japanese knife-making.
Knife making is elevated to an art in Japan. The traditional art of vegetable carving by the Japanese master chefs dates as long back as the 1500's. Their tremendous knife skills and eye for detail is breath-taking
The region of Sakai, Osaka was the home of the principal sword makers. Hence it is called the homeland of knife making in Japan. Now the Japanese cutlery industry is established in Sakai, Osaka and Seki, Gifu and Miki city. The Sakai Hamono museum, Osaka, houses the history of Japanese cutlery. It showcases the traditionally handcrafted knives and the art of knife sharpening. Even now, the Sakai region is well known for its traditional handmade knives. It is the home of several famous knife brands. The traditional Japanese chef knives are still hand-made, every one of them. They are made from the start by recognized knife craftsmen. These craftsmen usually hail from the traditional knife-making families. They learn the art from a very young age, undergo rigorous testing processes to finally earn the title of traditional Japanese knife craftsmen.
