Customers stare at a display of knives inside the Kama-Asa cutlery shop at Tokyo's famous Kappabashi kitchenware street on Nov. 24, 2022. AFP PHOTO SEKI, Japan: In a Japanese city once famous for forging samurai swords, craftsmen sharpen and polish kitchen knives, but even at full tilt their small factory can't keep up with global demand.
In the 1990s, Sumikama went all in, launching a full line-up of top-of-the-range kitchen knives that cost up to several hundred dollars each. To emphasize their made-in-Japan pedigree, his company adds a wavy two-tone finish to the metal that evokes the traditional appearance of samurai blades, and a kanji-character logo. Despite their elegant appearance, Sumikara said he faced skepticism from both within and outside the company that his expensive knives would sell.
