Zenpou Brand : Carbon steel and VG10 Damascus steel knives from all over Japan

This is the original brand of our store. They are kitchen knives made by craftsmen or factory which have contracted with us.

Aogami super, Gingami#3 and AUS10 steel series are made at a factory in Tosa region (Southern Japan). Beautiful knives such as hammered, black finish, and matt finish…, now it is one of the most important factories for craft kitchen knife making in Japan.

We will be ordering more types of knives from this factory.

VG10 Damascus Series are made at a factory in Seki City. The owner recently refurbished the factory and he is in a lot of debt. So they have to make a lot of knives, but unfortunately the work is not progressing. Because there is a shortage of craftsmen. This factory used to be one of Japan’s leading Damascus knives factories, but now they have to learn how to get craftsmen. The shortage of craftsmen is a big problem in the Japanese knife industry. Japanese knives may become more expensive or unavailable in the future.

Price range : US$80.00 – US$180.00
