Brand Introduction
Ohno Knife Works was founded in 1916 in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture—known as “The City of Blades.”
Originally a small workshop producing folding knives for export, the company gradually expanded into the kitchen knife field, forming the foundation of today’s operations.
In the mid-1990s, Ohno Knife began focusing on high-end “showcase” kitchen knives, internalizing over 100 manufacturing steps to move away from Japan’s traditional division-based production system.
In 2000, Ohno Knife partnered with the famous Japanese brand KAI to produce the premium “Shun” series for the overseas market.
Renowned for its Damascus pattern and sharp cutting performance, the Shun series won the “Kitchen Knife of the Year” award for ten consecutive years and exceeded 10 million units sold worldwide.
Since 2010, Ohno Knife has implemented automation and manufacturing system management, combining mechanization with artisanal hand finishing to create a complete production system and expand its technical applications.
Material Introduction
SG-2 Powder Steel (R2):
Chemical Composition — Carbon (C): 1.25–1.50%, Chromium (Cr): 14.0–16.0%, Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0–3.0%, Vanadium (V): 1.8–2.5%, Tungsten (W): 1.5%.
It provides exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance. When properly heat-treated, it reaches ≈HRC 62–64, maintaining sharpness and wear resistance over long use, making it ideal for professional chefs and knife enthusiasts.
Knife Model Introduction
The Western Gyuto is a chef’s knife specifically designed for cutting meat, particularly effective for handling beef.
It features a relatively straight edge and a pointed tip, suitable for slicing, trimming, and portioning large cuts.
The long blade allows single-pass cuts without sawing motions, maintaining the integrity and presentation of meat slices.
Handles are ergonomically designed for extended use, often made of wood, plastic, or composite materials for comfort and control.
It is a staple in many Western kitchens and professional culinary environments, also highly practical for home cooking that involves meat preparation.
