The Kikuichi has a long and distinguished history. Although we have been
producing superior cutlery for more than a hundred years, the origin of our
company lies some seven hundred years ago. For most of our history, we
manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a
mark of their excellence. Today, our ancestor's swords are considered national
treasures in Japan. Our tradition of sword making begun so long ago it is
something that the Kikuichi is proud to carry on in the high standard of
craftsmanship we apply to the cutlery we produce today. Unlike ordinary
stainless steel knives and scissors, the sharpness of our high-quality,
handcrafted products is easily maintained. |
