Kayaki knife
A Blade from a Hidden Forge
Sharp for 50 Years, Steeped in 200.
In a small coastal village in Nagasaki, blades have been quietly forged since the Edo period. Using local water and sacred clay,
Kayaki knives are born of iron and steel, crafted by a lineage dating back over 200 years. Once gifted to feudal lords, these blades combine European sharpness with Japanese resilience
—and can last half a century.
Kazuhisa Kuwahara, the 3rd-generation bladesmith of the family, has been making knives for over 40 years, ever since he began apprenticing at the age of 18. We found them.
Now they’re yours to treasure.
