Shibata Kashima Knives

Shibata Kashima knives are named for a type of ship, and the reference is apt - these are fast, slender blades that move through food with almost no resistance. Designed by Shibata-san with an emphasis on extreme thinness and high performance, the Kashima line is for cooks who have sharpened their palate for what a truly well-ground Japanese knife can do.
