Yoshihiro

Traditional Forging Skills Meets Modern Technology 

“Yoshihiro (郷右馬允善弘)” knives, from Sakai city, are the fruit of the 600-year of traditional skills coming together with modern technology.  We hope you enjoy the superb sharpness of Yoshihiro knives.

Yoshihiro maker’s business philosophy is: “Ichigo Ichie (一期一会)”, meaning that everything is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  If you have just one great knife, you don’t need any other knife for a life, and this maker produces knives, sincerely hoping that that one great knife will be a Yoshihiro knife.

In Sakai, craftsmanship has been inherited from generation to generation, and Sakai knives are beloved by home cooks and professional chefs alike.  Japanese people have been very dexterous and their craftsmanship has become well-known worldwide.  Yoshihiro knives’ performance is trusted and used by many, including a number of professional chefs. The company has inherited the beauty of Japanese traditions and skill – knife making is one of the most difficult tasks, and at that Yoshihiro excels.
