About Kosuke Muneishi

Muneishi inherited a blacksmithing business that had been in operation for 65 years. While the first and second generations focused mainly on making hatchets, Kosuke Muneishi began making knives in earnest. Building on the techniques passed down through generations, he tirelessly experimented and taught himself, striving for the "kuro-uchi" (black-forged) finish that he found beautiful. His knives are characterized by the strength typical of Tosa cutlery combined with refined beauty. Muneishi's knives are designed not only for their sharpness but also for their flexibility, ease of sharpening, and even ease of maintenance. He continues to pursue a new aesthetic in Tosa Uchihamono, aiming to create knives that are chosen because "Tosa Muneishi is the best."

What is Aogami No. 2 Steel?

Aogami steel is a type of Yasugi steel, a Japanese steel made by adding chromium and tungsten to Shirogami steel. Aogami No. 2 contains a high amount of carbon, making it a high-grade steel that is hard, tenacious, and has excellent wear resistance.
