Mr. Hiroo Itou knives barely needs an introduction, his knives are works of art. All Mr. Itou’s knives are completely handmade and unique. Famous for their exquisite and colourful handles, these knives are made with SG2 (R2) powdered steel in the core to ensure not only a sharp but easy to sharpen knife edge (Rockwell hardness HRC 62). These knives are one off pieces and not easy to get hold of, we cannot guarantee a stock at all times.

A smaller than usual Santoku. This shape is the Japanese multi purpose knife. Ideal for a home cook. Santoku means “three virtues” therefore it can be used on meats, fish and vegetables.

Mr Itou and Mr Nagata now make these knives together and they will now be known as Mr Itou (Yusui) knives.
