Five generations ago, master bladesmith Chuzaemon Moritaka decided to change the business direction and apply our forging experiences into cutlery other than swords. Since then we have been dedicatedly producing a large variety of kitchen cutlery and edged tools for gardening, agriculture and forestry. Currently the production of Katana swords is also continued for the purpose of succession and the preservation of our traditions.
