About Us

Shop Knives

The heart of our high performance knives comes from time tested bladesmithing techniques that Japan has been so well known for. We water quench our Hitachi White #1 steel which comes directly from Japan. This ultra pure, high carbon steel is clad with a softer 410 stainless steel, giving our blades corrosion resistance and toughness. Forging the steel refines the grain structure, making a super fine, scary sharp edge. Our process, coupled with a handcrafted handle designed for ergonomics and beauty, make using a Muteki knife a truly enjoyable experience!

Testimonials

“I just wanted to let folks know what a great experience I have had with Muteki. I bought 3 of their knives and was very happy with them. But I needed a Deba. Unfortunately, they were not making them just at this time. But when I explained that I was looking for a double bevel Deba, they thought they could accommodate me. That was about 2 weeks ago. Zane custom forged the knife for me and I now have it. What a fantastic knife it is! Both in form, and function. Looking for a great knife company? Muteki is it!”

Burr Sniffen, USA

“I have had my Petty in the kitchen a week or so now, and I am VERY pleased. Fit and finish is excellent, especially the handle – I can tell you are woodworkers. The blade is still shaving sharp so I know the heat treatment is good, and the feel in the hand is excellent. Thank you for your good work!”

Paul Bookbinder, USA

“My discounted Wobocho by Zane arrived today, thanks! The blade looks and feels very nice–I can see that it’s in the Carter style (I have a CCC kitchen knife), and Zane should be proud of his work.”

Liam Schulz, USA

“I’m really enjoying this knife (10” gyuto). It’s incredibly beautiful.  I get compliments daily. Thank you.”

Dan Ross, USA

“This is Richard. I bought the knife (perfect neck knife) for Anthony, one of my sons-in-law. He was thrilled! I was a customer of Murray’s for many years, when we both lived in Portland. I very much enjoyed his monthly open house get-togethers where he would showcase various knife making and sharpening techniques. Congrats on the Muteki status. I own several Muteki knives and love them all.”

Richard, USA

“Keep up the good work. I’m a dedicated customer based on the superior craftsmanship, quality and customer service.  The out of the box experience on past purchases has been exceptional.”  

Rick Turner, USA

“Today, I received the package.  I very much like the knife (persian), it is more than worth the time waiting for it.  Looking forward to browse your website, I am sure I will find something nice again. Thanks for the fine work making the knife.”

Renato Duchene, Switzerland

“I received my Muteki knife about two weeks ago and am thoroughly enjoying it.”
