There are still some legendary cutlery manufacturing districts in Japan (e.g. Seki, Sakai, Takefu), which have endured the changing times for hundreds of years by strictly using traditional blade smithing techniques and ancient methods that have been inherited and preserved from generation to generation. Today, in each famous knife manufacturing district there are master-craftsmen who continue to work tirelessly to achieve this goal.
Among these districts, JCK has identified top-notch craftsmen who have devoted all their energy, passion and lives creating true masterpieces that are incomparable to other products in every aspect. We have gathered these special knives together in our Premium "SYOJIN" (匠神) product line, which means "Artisans with heart & soul". You will clearly perceive the artisan's prowess, confidence and conviction; they deserve the highest respect...
