Biography of Mr. Kenji Horii, Representative of "Urushi Koubou Ken"
- **Birthplace**: Shiga Prefecture, 1986
- **Career**: Began as a custom knife maker in high school and studied lacquer art at Kyoto Traditional Crafts College.
- **Activities**: Founded Urushi Koubou Ken in 2011 and is currently based in Kyoto, actively engaged in his craft.
- **Products**: Utilizes skills and experience as both a knife maker and lacquer artist to create primarily titanium cutlery and accessories.
- **Notable Works**: "Forged Titanium Cutlery" series, "Titanium Knife IRODORI" series.
Product Description: Forged Titanium Cutlery "IRODORI"
The "IRODORI" series is crafted from solid bars of Grade 2 pure titanium, which is both lightweight and robust compared to iron and copper. Titanium's superior corrosion resistance makes it ideal for bento boxes and outdoor activities. Additionally, it does not affect the taste of food and is safe for those with metal allergies.
The surface retains the hammer marks from forging and is polished to a smooth finish, offering a silky soft touch. The oxide film's structural colors create beautiful gradations, ranging from deep blue and light blue to purple and golden brown, with no two pieces alike.
Care Instructions
- **Cleaning**: Wash with dish soap and a sponge after use.
- **Disinfection**: Dishwasher, boiling, and chlorine bleach can be used.
- **Note**: Wear and tear from use or using metal brushes and abrasive cleaners may remove the oxide film, but this does not affect the quality.
We look forward to the continued collaboration between Sansen Shoten and Mr. Kenji Horii, delivering products that seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
