Located in Toyama City, Toyama prefecture, Sukenari (Skenari Ltd.) has been in the knife forging business since 1933. Toyama is a costal city in the heart of Japan known for power supply and robot manufacturing.
.
Sukenari knives have been made with all types of knife making steels in the past, but are gaining recognition for their use of modern steel such as SG2 & ZDP189. They hand-forge everything from single bevel traditional Japanese blades, to 3 rivet full tang western knives.
.
All knives in this series are fitted with a wa-octagonal handle. This is our favourite shape for a knife handle at The Cook's Edge, it gives excellent control and fits comfortably in the hand of either left or right handers.
