Japanese style Knives

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.

Our Kaede knives are long-lasting and perform better than conventional steel knives. This knife can be sharpened on normal whetstones and retain its anti-rust ability.

Mizuyakiire Honyaki knives (also known as "Mizu Honyaki")
Mizuyakiire Honyaki Knives	Honyaki knives forged from white steel. These knives are tempered, quenched in water ( yakiire ) the moment the blade is heated to the correct temperature (the process of hardening the blade). This method brings out the maximum potential of white steel, resulting in an extremely delicate and precise forge. This blade is especially recommended for those looking for a knife with the sharpest edge. We offer the best hand-crafted Mizu Honyaki knives. Blade finish: mirrored Handle: ebony Blade cover: ebony
