brought by Japanese knives
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Lifestyles with Japanese knives
Japanese knives are created by a combination of the time-honored tradition of bladesmithing and craftsmen's superb techniques that have been carried over generations.
We carefully look at these traditional gems and strive to create knives that are sought after by many people. Knives do not choose users, but users pursue excellent knives.
We focus on people's everyday lives that transition as time goes by. Our passion is to create knives that naturally fit into our lives, regardless of culture, region, or generation. In addition, we suggest ideas of lifestyles where you can fully appreciate and use your quality knife.
The knives we offer will broaden our views and color our lives, from finding new activities we enjoy, to creating new connections with people. This way, we believe that Japanese knives will not only be valued as a traditional craft, but will also become part of our lives.
VISION
Expand the possibilities of Japanese knives into the future
The origin of Steelstyle is a traditional hardware store with 150 years of history. While we carry on the long history and passion for knives, we strive to expand the possibilities of Japanese knives through flexible attitudes and approaches that are not shackled by past customs and conventional ideas.
We inherit the culture of Japanese knives in a way that suits this modern age, in order to eliminate stereotypes and make these knives more accessible. We are passionate about spreading the real value of the knives that we are so proud of.
We are also hopeful that our approach will ultimately contribute to the development of the bladesmithing industry in Japan, which is now sadly declining due to a decreasing workforce population.
