Honyaki translates to "true forged" and epitomizes the traditional art of Japanese sword-making. Our master craftsmen employ the same time-honored methods and techniques passed down from generation to generation, producing knives of exceptional quality and performance. The process of hand-forging these knives from a single piece of high-carbon steel requires extraordinary skill, as the steel is subjected to temperatures reaching into the thousands of degrees within a blazing furnace.

Our handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are crafted with unparalleled expertise, forged from the finest quality steel using the ancient techniques of Japanese sword-making. With some artisans boasting over 50 years of experience, each knife reflects the highest level of craftsmanship. Made from a single piece of White Steel #1, these knives achieve a remarkable hardness of 66 on the Rockwell scale. The steel undergoes a meticulous process of heating in specialized hearths and is then quenched in cool water, resulting in knives that blend breathtaking aesthetics with superior performance.

Experience the legacy of Japanese craftsmanship with our Honyaki knives, where beauty and functionality coalesce in every blade.
