Located on the Island of Kyushu, Kumabe Cutlery started as a swordsmith in 1915. Master Nao Kumabe, the first generation, was nationally renowned.
He was chosen to forge knives for the emperor of Japan. In return, Master Kumabe was allowed to use the imperial emblem, Kiku-mon-ji (chrysanthemum bloom), from the Imperial family. It is one of the highest honors a blacksmith can receive and is engraved on each knife Kumabe Cutlery forges. The original forging techniques and skills of the Kumabe Clan were carefully passed down to each generation.
Master Hiroshi Kumabe, 3rd generation, and Tomohiro Kumabe, 4th generation, continue their ancestorial traditions and legacy today.

Gyuto knives are the Japanese answer to the Western chef knife. Around the end of the 19th century the diet of Japan started to change as different types of food became available. “Wa” means Japanese style, and “gyuto” means Beef knife. It’s excellent for all types of roasts, fish, vegetables, fruit, bread and tomatoes. We have seen people use this to break down large yellow tail and blue fin tunas and play the leading role at BBQ feasts.
Ueda wa-gyutos are double bevel, meaning they are sharpened on both sides. They are compatible for both left and right-handed users. However, these handles are “D” shaped so there is one distinct elevated line running up the length of the handle on the right side. Some left-handed customers prefer this elevated line to be on the left side of the handle, others do not care. If you are left-handed and prefer this, please reach out and we will have master Ueda make one for you.

Long and sleek. If you love to make sushi, slice sashimi, roasts and ribs, this is the knife to choose. When slicing roasts, fish, sushi rolls, etc., it’s best to get through with the least amount of slicing motion. This long blade is perfect for that.
Start at the heel of the blade and pull towards you throughout the length of the blade to the tip and swoosh a beautiful cut without ripping or smashing your precious fish, sushi rolls and roasts. May I add, it’s awesome on bread and tomatoes too!
