All Kitaoka Knives

Every Kitaoka knife we carry is gathered here in one place. Hideo Kitaoka has spent over 30 years perfecting a handful of traditional single bevel knife styles in just a couple of carbon steels. He works out of the Takefu Village knife cooperative in Echizen alongside many other respected smiths, and his knives reflect a lifetime spent on a narrow, deeply mastered craft.
