The Hinokuni is a White #1 core forged with a soft iron cladding in the same way as Nishida-san's knives and is named for the area in which they're made in the Kumamoto Prefecture which is known as "land of fire" thanks to its famous Mount Aso volcano.
Cutting Edge Knives is a family run business established in 2011 and based in the picturesque town of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. We love the history and craftsmanship that goes into making Japanese chef knives and accessories and the excitement and enjoyment you experience when using a truly sharp knife in the kitchen.
Over many years we've helped thousands of happy customers find their dream knife and look forward to helping you too.
