About Kamikoto

Kamikoto handcrafts knives from Japanese steel. Each Kamikoto knife is handcrafted with precise attention and care, employing traditional skills handed down by expert knifemakers through the centuries. Kamikoto is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and sources its steel from select and carefully chosen steel mills on Honshu 本州 island of Japan, from the prefectures of Niigata 新潟市, Ibaraki 茨城県and Kanagawa 神奈川県, among others. Kamikoto knives are solemn blades made for a lifetime, crafted for chefs and knife enthusiasts. Kamikoto is the #1 choice of some of the best chefs in the world working in Michelin star restaurants worldwide.

Each Kamikoto knife goes through a rigorous 19-step process that takes several years from start to finish to complete. With more than 100 years of experience between them, our expert bladesmiths handcraft knives using traditional techniques perfected over generations of knifesmiths, polishing and sharpening our blades to an excruciatingly fine edge. Each blade is inspected individually before it leaves our workshop, ensuring that every Kamikoto knife stays true to the legacy of crafting single-bevel Japanese steel knives of exceptional quality. Kamikoto knives are a study in skill; you feel the spirit of the craft in every piece.

Kamikoto appreciates that a good product is incomplete without excellent service. Our work does not end with the craftsmanship of a flawless blade. Understanding and anticipating a client’s needs is integral to the Japanese spirit of omotenashi, or the philosophy of selfless hospitality. Kamikoto’s goal is to respond to clients’ needs clearly and quickly, delivering the same high quality in Kamikoto 神箏 service as is found in Kamikoto 神箏 products; and to strive to see things from our client’s perspective as well as from our own.

“While the world around us has moved to less exacting production techniques, Kamikoto 神箏 has stayed true to its original values based on craftsmanship and quality.”
