Availability: Normally ships the same day


Over their 100+ year history, the Hinoura family of forge-smiths have developed a great deal of experience and expertise in the knife forging arts. 

The concept behind the collaborative knives that we have produced with Master Hinoura was simple: We both wanted to to produce superbly sharp, highly practical and aesthetically attractive high-carbon steel knives that would satisfy the needs and desires of knife enthusiasts who love high-carbon steel knives.

We requested that Hinoura uses White Steel No.1 for the core blade steel. It is sandwiched with outer layers of soft stainless steel. The laminated construction means that only the high-carbon steel blade core is likely to discolor or rust, since the outer layers of soft stainless steel are corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain. The layers of soft stainless steel also improve the blades resistance to impact and bending forces. White Steel No.1 is made by further refining White Steel No.2 and adding more Carbon. The extra Carbon allows it to achieve a slightly higher HRc. than White Steel No.2. It can be sharpened to an exceedingly fine edge, has very good edge retention and is easy to re-sharpen.

One of the Major Japanese Steel company Hitachi Steel Company’s capacity for producing the high grade cutlery steels including the White Steel No.1 is becoming very much limited. Under such circumstances, JCK is trying best to preserve the very purity and high cutting ability of White Steel No.1 Carbon steel knives with Master Hinoura.

This is the Custom Limited Edition Special Knife Collection. Beautifully polished and finished, Hinoura’s natural gradation color and taste of the modern & traditional Kurouchi Wa Santoku Knife is fitted a with a Innovative  Octagonal Soft Pink Turquoise Composite Stone Handle. Please feel the harmony of the traditional historical art and modern, high-sense design, quality.

The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

More Information: Unlike many traditionally forged knives, Master Hinoura's knives have a relatively thick spine at the point where the tang enters the handle (The neck'). In part, this because he forges these laminated knives using a piece of high carbon steel that is much thicker than that commonly used by other forge-smiths. The thick spine and neck makes the knife very strong, very comfortable to hold in a pinch-grip and also results in excellent blade balance.

Although some people consider Master Honouras knives to be thick and heavy, their geometry is the result of carefully considering every aspect of their function. Contrary to what you might expect, the process of forging a thick blade 'to shape actually requires a lot of time and skill. Master Honouras knives are nicely tapered from their heel to the tip and from their spine down to the cutting edge, which is ground very thin behind the edge. We are confident that these knives will provide the high cutting performance that is demanded by Carbon steel lovers!
