KATSU & Nemoto Knives Collaboration

In traditional Japanese culture, knives have always been a symbol of great significance. Samurai warriors considered their swords to be a part of their life and having a beautifully crafted knife was a symbol of honor and a tribute to the artistry and quality of the work. Top knife makers were regarded as master artisans, yet only those with exceptional talent could create unparalleled weapons.

Today, KATSU KNIVES collaborates, once again, with renowned Japanese top knife maker Tomoyuki Nemoto (Sakura Blade Nemoto) to bring you an exquisite Japanese fixed blade knife, KATSU FB01, a true work of art.
