The Hinokuni Santoku is a versatile kitchen knife made entirely by hand by blacksmith Yukihiro-san at his smithy in Kumamoto in the south of Japan. The Hinokuni collection is hand-forged from Shirogami #1 steel laminated in soft iron, so sharpening will be nothing but pure pleasure.

Few blacksmiths make their own knives completely in every step of the process from rauw material to finished product, and Yukihiro-san is one of them. Working with raw materials is challenging and difficult, but the blacksmith insists on it because he believes that this step is crucial for the quality of the final product. The result of such a lange and hard process are sturdy and heavy knives that are real workhorses.

❗️ Because they are forged by hand and in small quantities, they take a while to arrive, so here’s some good advice: if one of the knives from the Hinokuni series is on your wish list, get it while it’s still available.
