The Wa NAGOMI commitment
Our goal is to make knives that last a lifetime.
Sharpness that brings out the best in ingredients. Easy to care for, so they stay in top condition forever. This is the ideal form of a kitchen knife for home use. Our craftsmen have carefully given form to our belief that a truly good knife is one that will last a lifetime.
A jewel created by a professional knifemaker and his wife, who loves to cook.
It all began with a conversation with a student at a baking class run by the President's wife. Aiming to create a kitchen knife that could be maintained at home, the couple worked together through a process of trial and error to create Wa NAGOMI. The product is packed with quality recognised by professionals and ingenuity that makes it easy for housewives to use.
Professional quality sharpness created with our unique technology.
Instead of the hard steel used in recent years, a stainless and tough steel is used. We have developed a technology to increase hardness through skilful quenching, achieving both hardness and toughness of the cutting edge. The blade is resistant to spillage and retains its sharpness for a long time.
