STORY

The“Enjin no Takumi” black kitchen knife, made by the world-renowned knife craftsmen in Tsubame City, is the best kitchen knife ever. The combination of the Japanese artisans’ craftsmanship and their supreme techniques make cooking the most enjoyable experience in your life.

Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan has long been a region where metalworking is handed down for generations. It was started with nails in the Edo period, then transitioned to manufacturing various metal products such as files and chimneys. Around the 1900s, Tsubame City became the largest producer of spoons and forks in Japan. Ever since then, the Tsubame region has accounted for 90% of the share of western tableware in Japan. Passed down from generation to generation, artisans have shared their reliable techniques. With high-end techniques, knife artisans have sharpened knives one by one and have meticulously designed them. These masterpieces are often given as gifts to world leaders and its quality is highly recognized not only in Japan but around the world.

The“Enjin no Takumi” series is the best kitchen knife in the world that only Tsubame knife artisans can make.
The blade is made of 63 layers of DP Damascus steel, and the advanced black oxide film processing used for medical devices is applied to further enhance the elegant ripples that express the ultimate sharpness. In addition, since it is not painted or plated, peeling does not easily occur and the effect lasts for a long time. 

For ingredients to reach their full potential, the sharpness of the knife is very important for successful cooking.

A dull knife can damage the ingredients and release more juices than a sharp knife, so the better the sharpness, the better the cooking.

Our “Enjin no Takumi Black” Kitchen knife is the answer.

Once you eat the dishes, you will definitely taste the difference in flavor, especially in fresh ingredients. A sharp knife creates a clean cut, which then helps you taste 100% of the food’s authentic flavors.

 Japanese knife types 

Gyutoku knife
This knife is designed for cutting meats, vegetables, and fish.  The Gyutoku is a multipurpose kitchen knife originally from Europe. You can cut meats and chop vegetables, or even cut fish fillets into sashimi(thin fish slices). The knife has a blade length of 18 cm to 22 cm (about 7 to 8.5 inches) and is the most suitable for home cooking.
Santoku knife
The Santoku knife is mainly used at home. It is designed for cutting various ingredients such as meats, fish, and vegetables. It’s an easy to use, multipurpose kitchen knife. The Chef’s knife, the general-utility knife for most western cooks, has changed its shape and use with the times and has become the Japanese Santoku knife. This knife is the most popular kitchen knife and its popularity spread dramatically among Japanese people after World War Ⅱ. Most Japanese people have experience using the Santoku knife as their standard model for home cooking.
Nakiri knife
Nakiri means chopping vegetables in Japanese, so this knife is specifically designed for cutting vegetables. The blade of the knife is wider than others so that you can effortlessly cut through thick vegetables like cabbage. The blade length is generally 15 cm to 17 cm (about 6 to 6.5 inches). It’s the most suitable kitchen knife for cutting, chopping and shredding vegetables, not for cutting meats or fish. 
Sashimi knife
This is a Western Japan-style Sashimi knife. Since its blade shape resembles an iris leaf, it is called Shobu, meaning iris in Japanese. It has a sharp point and is easy to use. It is mainly used for cutting fish fillets. Sashimi knives have one of the longest blades among the Japanese knives. It is 21 to 24 cm (about 8 to 9.5 inches) in length so that you can easily cut ingredients while pulling the knife. This knife is used by professional Japanese sushi chefs to cut fish fillets into sashimi. Some chefs also use Sashimi knives to cut meats into thin slices. After you cut fatty meats, please keep in mind that you must keep the knife clean so that there will be no oil stains on it. We recommend that you resharpen the knife after cutting fatty meats so that the knife can maintain its sharpness.
Santoku knife
The Santoku knife is mainly used at home. It is designed for cutting various ingredients such as meats, fish, and vegetables. It’s an easy to use, multipurpose kitchen knife. The Chef’s knife, the general-utility knife for most western cooks, has changed its shape and use with the times and has become the Japanese Santoku knife. This knife is the most popular kitchen knife and its popularity spread dramatically among Japanese people after World War Ⅱ. Most Japanese people have experience using the Santoku knife as their standard model for home cooking.
