History of Gokaden
Japanese swords were researched after every battle and were renovated to improve its effects. Furthermore, many talented blacksmiths started emerging during the late Heian to the Kamakura period and five producing districts-Yamato, Bizen, Yamashiro, Soushu, Mino-were established, each with their own style and technique in forging Japanese swords. In the Katana industry, these five areas became generically known as the “Gokaden” during the Meiji period(1868-1911)
After MASA’s visit to these regions, he concluded that GOKADEN was the ideal name for his knives. These blades embody the traditional Japanese sword-making art, hand-forged by expert craftsmen, delivering razor-sharp precision and exceptional edge retention. HITACHIYA KNIVES represent the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, combining beauty and superior performance.
Masa believes one great knife can be cherished for a lifetime.
He sincerely hope that HITACHIYA KNIFE will be the your one.
