Home | Tsukasa Hinoura

Tsukasa Hinoura is a third generation knife maker in Sanjo, Niigata, Japan. Methodically employed traditional techniques are used for the forging of the jigane cladding, the warikomi forge lamination of the steel core and cladding, the water quench heat treatment, the final whetstone finish, and all the steps in between.

Hinoura-San is known for his examination of traditional Japanese blacksmithing with modern metallurgical microscopy, with both his own work and the work of other Japanese blacksmiths. All of his research has supported the functional importance of traditional techniques that had previously been viewed as antiquated or unnecessary with modern steels. The results are Hinoura-san's superb steel quality.

We also offer knives from Tsukasa's son, Mutsumi Hinoura.
