Stunning knives with some added niceties that we could tell you about but we don’t want to spoil the surprise. Beautifully forged by Tamura san.

Kagekiyo Knives The Kagekiyo brand is 60 years young compared to the founding of the original business a hundred years ago back in 1916. Run by third generation Baba Shuzou along with his son Takashi Kagekiyo knives are produced with the professional chef in mind - sharpness, easy resharpening, durability, comfort and beautifully finished knives. Traditional Craftsmanship, Modern Technology, Commitment to Monozukuri Kagekiyo is constantly evolving, using modern technology to study the molecular structure of steel via electron microscopes, all in an effort to create the most advanced Japanese knives, hammer forged and sharpened by hand. The Baba family has a long history in Sakai. In 1964 the founder Baba Ichiji received a medal from the Emperor - the Order of the Rising Sun, for his contribution to the manufacturing industry in the Kansai region. He was the first person ever to receive such an honour within the Sakai knife industry. Chef's Armoury are proud to be the exclusive agent for Kagekiyo knives in Australia. ......
