MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP - It is produced one at a time manually by highly skilled master artisans. The unparalleled performances make you feel professional. The durability is excellent because it made of super blue steel. The sharpness is amazing because it's hammered when it's forged.
Double layer forged
Echizen cutlery (called Echizen uchihamono in Japanese) is produced around the city of Echizen, Fukui prefecture. A double layering technique is used for knives and a rotated steel joining technique for sickles.
Double layering is a forging method where two blade plates are layered and hammer beaten on both sides. Since the thickness of the blade is doubled by layering, a lot of forceful hammer beating is needed to effectively stretch and thin the knife blade. In addition, double layering prevents any drops in temperature while heating. This removes the need for repeated heating and results in less unevenness on the blade surface.
The rotated steel joining technique involves beating steel into a diamond shaped blade edge by starting from the corner across the whole blade. This technique results in a thin, sturdy, and easily-sharpened sickle blade which stays sharp for a long time.

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 visited these areas and he said to himself, GOKADEN would be the perfect name for his knives.
