Ikeuchi Hamono
The Ikeuchi Hamono blacksmith started producing gardening tools and kitchen knives in 1954 in the city of Miki, Japan. Despite the introduction of modern technology into the forging processes, Ikeuchi still focuses on traditional Japanese blacksmithing techniques, which is reflected in their products. A typical Ikeuchi Hamono knife is single bevel, with a kuro-uchi finish featuring hammer marks and a traditional Japanese magnolia handle.
