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.

Issei Shin blades have an ample curve to aid in the rocking technique. However, the end of the heel is straight, enabling the user to also use the up and down chopping method as well. The point at the tip is perfect for trimming meat, chicken and fish and other intricate cutting tasks. The wide girth of the blade makes scooping up your chopped vegetables or fruit and placing them in a pan or bowl effortless.
Don’t forget to use your Issei Shin to slice tomatoes and bread too!

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!
