Kitchen knives

 

Mountains of Gifu and famous Handicraft, ORIGAMI, inspired Conran a new and unique shape of handle.

His request tested very skilled and long inherited metalwork and woodwork in Seki-city where legendary swordsmith MOTOSHIGE opened his factory 700 years ago.

 

Very precisely handcrafted metal blade and wood handle allow the knife without anything vain. Structural character is classified as “HONDOUSI” which are favored by Chefs since its homogeneous weight balance.
