Kobayashi Knives

Kei Kobayashi spent years as a talented sharpener and finisher working for some of the top blacksmiths in Seki City before branching out to make knives under his own name. That background shows in every blade - genuine laser grinds built around SG2 powdered stainless steel, hardened to 63 HRC for an edge that takes a fine sharpness and holds it well. We are proud to be one of the first to bring his work to the US market.
