- KANEKO SOUGYO WA HANDLE -
Kaneko Sougyo company was founded in 1957 in Tsubame-Sanjo-Japan, one of a town of blacksmiths. They mainly make farm and woodworking hand tools.
In recent years, as craftsmen age and demand has entered a period of decline The number of wooden workers for Japanese knives has also decreased. And Development began when a local blacksmith asked us to manufacture a handle.
Mass production of wa handles is extremely difficult. After several years of prototype development, Kaneko Sougyo is now engaged in manufacturing together with a new factory.
The shaping of hard natural wood inevitably results in variations.
The final shaping is done by a craftsman for each piece. At last, they have succeeded in achieving a unique luster in their wood finishes.
Please give the Elaborate and highly durable a try with your chef knife blank.
