Kunio knives are manufactured in Echizen, the modern “knife city” of Japan. The company is run by Mr. Masutani, a 4th generation blacksmith and the brother of the owner of Ryusen Hamono, a well-known Japanese brand.

Ideal for veggie lovers, will fly through all ingredients. Razor sharp out of the box.
