Nishida Hamono

Nishida Hamono crafts handmade Japanese kitchen knives using the traditional Hon-Warikomi forging method. By splitting soft iron and forging in a high-carbon steel core, each knife achieves an excellent balance of sharpness, durability, and easy sharpening. The blade glides smoothly with minimal resistance, making it comfortable and efficient for everyone—from professional chefs to home cooks. Since every piece is finished by hand, no two knives are exactly alike, with each one carrying its own unique character and feel. If you’re looking for a Japanese forged knife that’s not just beautiful, but truly built to be used, Nishida Hamono is a standout choice.
