Echizen knives have a long history dating back 700 years, when swordsmith Chiyozuru Kuniyasu decided to settle in Echizen and make sickles for the region’s farmers. The knives coming from Echizen take the thin Japanese knives a step further and are even thinner. They’re made using an unmatched forging process involving hammering two hot steel pieces together. This makes the knife blades slimmer, sharper, more solid, and lighter than those of other knives.
