ITTOSAI KOTETSU

Our founder Kusutaro Takahashi named it meaning “the knife of KOTETSU” in honor of “KOTETSU,” a famous Japanese swordsmith of the Edo period. The signature “Ittosai KOTETSU” is engraved in our high quality knives.

TAKAHASHIKUSU is celebrating its 100th year in business in 2017. This is all due to the support we received from our artisans, customers and business partners in Sakai and around Japan. At TAKAHASHIKUSU , we have been creating each authentic Japanese knife carefully and wholeheartedly, gathering the skills and passion of the artisans. And this will not change for another 100 years. We will continue to deliver quality knives from various production areas to as many people as possible, and we hope that they will make cooking more enjoyable.
