Making kitchen knives that utilize the skills of swordsmiths to make authentic Japan swords

創業は江戸時代天明６年、230年以上前から続く福岡大牟田の四郎國光が造る包丁は、質実剛健切れ味を真摯に求め、刀匠の魂をこめて造り上げられたまさしく本物の包丁と言っても過言ではない一品です。

It is no exaggeration to say that the kitchen knives made by Mr. Kunimitsu Shiro of Fukuoka Omuta, which was founded in the 6th year of the Edo period and has been in business for more than 230 years, are truly genuine knives that have been made with the soul of a swordsmith in the sincere pursuit of simplicity, robustness, and sharpness.

福岡の刀匠集団、四郎國光により作り出された黒打包丁、その切れ味はもちろん申し分なし。刀鍛冶が作った包丁が切れないはずがないとまで言わしめた包丁です。

The black-hammered knife created by Fukuoka's swordsmith group Shiro Kunimitsu, is of course impeccable. It is a kitchen knife that has been said that there is no way that a knife made by a swordsmith cannot be cut.

四郎國光は江戸期柳河藩を拠点に活動する御番鍛治の血を引き継ぐ鍛冶屋一家です。
先代四郎國光の技と魂を受け継ぎ、一本一本手作業で一切妥協を許さずに製作しております。
ひとつのところで５人の刀匠がそれぞれの作風を生かしながら日本刀や包丁を製作しております。

Shiro Kunimitsu is a blacksmith family that inherits the blood of Goban Forge, who is based in the Yanagawa Domain in the Edo period.

Inheriting the skills and soul of the predecessor Shiro Kunimitsu, we make each piece by hand without any compromise.

In one place, five swordsmiths make Japan swords and knives while making the most of their style.

古くは平安時代から受け継がれた日本刀作りの技術を日常に使う包丁に落とし込むことで日本の伝統を後世にも残す一躍にもなります。

By incorporating the techniques of Japan sword-making that have been passed down from the Heian period into the knives used in everyday life, it will be a leap forward to preserve the traditions of Japan for future generations.
