Story

Get a One-Of-A-Kind Kitchen Knife That Will Support You for Decades

Minomo Blacksmith was founded 1796, in the small village of Hitoyoshi in the southern part of Japan. The smithy itself has been destroyed several times - by floods and fires - but the traditions were kept alive through the efforts of the craftsmen and their families. Their passion for the craft has kept burning for over 200 years.

Currently, three generations of blacksmiths are working in the smithy: The granddad and 8th generation Yutaka-san, the dad and 9th generation Minoru-san, and his son and 10th generation Isamu-san. The three of them work in the smithy every day, hammering, sharpening, and putting their hearts and souls into each and every blade.

History

200 Years of Craft, Forged to Last

They create timeless products that can be used for decades. The legacy of their ancestors can be felt in every swing of their hammers. A craft kept alive for over 200 years.

History

Hands of Heritage

Each knife is individually forged by hand at the Minomo smithy in Kumamoto.
The craftsmen create knives that fit into the modern lifestyle, while preserving tradition and using techniques handed down for generations.

My Favorite New Knife

The craftsmanship and old style ways make this Minomo blacksmiths knife very special and very SHARP! Also to watch a video of this very family shop extra special to me. I’ve purchased several Japanese knives over the years and spent 3 times + for some of them, I put this knife above a few of them.
Thank you to the family for sharing your craft.
