We are proud to introduce the Homura Aoko, a masterpiece crafted by skilled blacksmith Itsuo Doi, who comes from a family of legendary blacksmiths with over 70 years of experience in producing some of the finest hand-forged knives.

The blade of the Homura Aoko is made from Yasugi steel, known for its high carbon content and developed specifically for knives and tools. This knife has the highest wear resistance and toughness, making it an excellent choice for professional chefs. The blade's durability of sharpness and special hardness from Itsuo Doi's heat treatmenti, make it a must-have tool in any professional kitchen.
