Japanese

All of our Japanese knives are made for professional and domestic household use.

Each blade is made using the same traditional methods of samurai sword craftsmanship that date back to centuries ago. Today, only 5 percent of all knives are made using forged steel.

Of this 5 percent, we can proudly say that Nenox offers the finest hand finished knives by traditional craftsmen. If you are seeking the finest top of the line tools for yourself or as a gift, a Nenohi knife is for you. When you consider the time and craftsmanship that goes in to the blade, you can understand the true value of a Nenohi.

A good knife not only has a well-finished blade but also a carefully detailed polish in the metal as well as a finished handle that speaks to quality. If you compare a Nenohi knife to any other knife, you can easily discern the lack of care in the final finish and construction in our competitors’ We can proudly say we forge some of the finest knives in the world.

Prices on this website are all specially discounted internet prices and can not be found in retail outlets.
