Karaku Knives
Hand-Forged Karaku Knives from Japan
Karaku knives are hand-forged Japanese kitchen knives made in the Tosa region of Shikoku, Japan, by blacksmith Michikuni Tokaji. They are crafted from Aogami #1 (Blue Steel #1), a high-carbon steel widely used by top Japanese knife makers for its sharpness, edge retention, and performance.
Karaku is often regarded as a strong entry-level brand within traditional Japanese cutlery, offering authentic craftsmanship and materials at an accessible price.
