“ANMON” Sharp and Durable and Distinctive Ripple Design.
The “Anmon” design was inspired by the rippling water of the Anmon falls,
found on the base of the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains.
Dating back to the Edo Period over 350 years ago,
this Nigara Forging technique with its numerous folds,
result in the ripple marked blades that are sharp and extremely durable,
resistant to rusting. With each one skillfully handcrafted, no two knives are the same.
