300mm Aritsugu Ginsan Steel

Aritsugu is a Japanese knifemaker that has stood the test of time. The company was founded by Fujiwara Aritsugu and built its reputation as a key manufacturer of Japanese samurai swords in the 1700s. As the war ended, Aritsugu channeled its strengths in blade production to knives and cooking utensils for the kitchen.

Today, Aritsugu remains a family-run endeavour, headed by 18th-generation proprietor Shinichiro Terakubo. With the establishment of additional stores in Tsukiji Market in the 1920s, Aritsugu has gained much popularity among fish vendors, chefs, and tourists alike.
