Muneyoshi knives are made in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. Muneyoshi originated as a manufacturer of Japanese sickles, and their specialty is forging Hitachi Carbon steels like Shirogami#2 and Aogami #2 which they clad with soft iron. They moved into making kitchen knives for local consumption utilizing the same clad steels and single-edge designs, which are still popular with chefs in the area.
Mr. Suzuki is the head blacksmith of Muneyoshi and he told me he always works to put his soul and spirit into each knife he forges. For the past 50 years, his main business was sickle manufacturing and he believes he has produced and sold more than 1 million sickles! That’s a lot of soul!Brand: Muneyoshi
