Shiro Kamo

The blacksmith Takefu Knife Village is where Shiro Kamo makes his blades. For nearly 700 years, this cooperative smithy has preserved the art of fine metalworking. The finest materials are used in the handcrafted creation of each unique Japanese kitchen knife. At forty-five, the smith received the title of «Master of the Traditional Craft« in appreciation of his exceptional work. Shiro Kamo is the Takefu Knife Village Association's current president.
