Hanga Knives

Michi Hamono ('hamono' means literally 'things with blades') is a well known edged tool supplier in western Japan. Their roots go back to the days of serious sword-making ...

These tools, as are most Japanese blades, are made from a high-quality two-part steel: a high carbon portion which holds the cutting edge, laminated to a softer steel which provides strength to prevent blade breakage.

The tools are all designed in such a way that the blades can be moved forward as they wear down through sharpening.

Adjustable blades ...

 

We have them in four blade types:

  • Hangi-toh: the standard cutting blade with a sharpened bevel
  • Komasuki: the blade in a 'U' shape
  • Aisuki: flat bull-nose chisel
  • Sankaku-toh: 'V' cutting blade

 

Knives are available individually. Check off the ones you wish to order, and use the 'Add to Cart' button below. We also have some pre-selected sets (see below).
