Akifusa’s mission from the start has been to supply conscientious cooks and knife enthusiasts with the tools they need to do their best work. Collaborating with a roster of blacksmiths and craftsmen (including Ohishi) across Japan, Akifusa offers a wide range of knives for any budget.

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
