Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it so often out of stock?
Why is it so often out of stock?
Every Kurokami knife is handcrafted in limited batches — never mass-produced.
Our founder, Master Hattori, refused to surrender his craft to machines, honoring 24 generations of knife-making tradition. Before his passing in 2023, he limited production to just 500 blades per month to preserve perfection in every edge.
His son, Taro Hattori, continues that legacy today — keeping prices fair by cutting out middlemen, not by compromising quality.
