SHIMOMURA INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. began its blacksmith business in Sanjo, one of Japan’s leading cutting tool production regions, in 1874. We started by manufacturing agricultural tools such as sickles and hoes. We further evolved the traditional Sanjo cutting tool forging techniques and currently make culinary knives, scissors and slicers mainly out of stainless steel. We aim to deliver “sharp cutting tools” to satisfy those who cook with our tools.
