Tagai Sanjo

Home | Tagai Sanjo

Tagai is a collaborative project from Sanjo, Niigata, uniting blacksmiths like Mutsumi Hinoura and Takashi Hosokawa. Rather than a single workshop, Tagai blends the talents of top regional makers to create knives that reflect Sanjo’s spirit: practical, balanced, and beautifully ground. Tagai knives often use proven steels like Shirogami or SLD and are ground for efficient cutting with strong spine-to-edge taper.

“Tagai” means “together,” fitting for a brand shaped by shared skill and vision. These knives are a refined showcase of Sanjo craftsmanship, designed with professional use in mind.
