Mutsumi Hinoura is a Japanese knife brand founded by the fourth-generation blacksmith of the same name from Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. Mutsumi trained under his father, Tsukasa Hinoura, who is a legend in the world of Japanese knives. The brand is famous for preserving age-old traditions such as hand forging.
Mutsumi Hinoura knives are made from high-quality steels such as Aogami Super (blue steel) and Shirogami #2 (white steel #2). The blades are often created using the Honyaki process (hardening a single piece of steel), which requires precise control of the temperature and cooling process. This results in a visible temper line, which is not only a marker of quality but also adds aesthetic value. Mutsumi Hinoura offers a wide range of kitchen knives, including the Gyuto (chef's knife), Santoku (utility knife), Nakiri (vegetable knife).
