About Shizu Shikisai Miyako-Shizu Hamono is a relatively new knife maker, established in 1959 in Seki by Masami Horibe, he grew up in Seki city, the city of blacksmiths, and naturally became a craftsman.

The Shikisai Miyako is an elegant choice for both chefs and home cooks. AUS-8 stainless steel is low maintenance, keeps a great edge, and is more rugged than most Japanese steels. The 33-layer damascus finish makes for a stunning piece, finished with a weighty, confident pakkawood handle. Perfection!
