Founded in 1873, our company was passed from our mentor, 4th-generation mastercraftsman Katsushige Andachi, to 5th-generation traditional craftsman Takumi Ikeda in 2021.

As a representative of Echizen cutlery, Ikeda inherits the traditional forging of hammered single-edged blades, and adds his passion for the challenge of making double-edged blades.

Each knife has the beauty and functionality that only comes from artisan hands. The distinctive colors and textures, the carefully calculated thickness from the handle to the cutting edge, and the meticulous attention to detail in the design not only make the knives comfortable to use, but also make them treasures that you can cherish for years. Our quality is renowned in Japan and abroad, and highly valued by professional and amateur chefs!
