Professional chef quality. Made for the home kitchen.

Based in Seki City, Japan, one of the world's legendary blade-making capitals, Mitsuboshi Cutlery has supplied professional kitchens globally for over 143 years. NAGOMI is their premier self-branded line: generations of master craftsmanship, brought to the home kitchen for the first time.

NAGOMI was born from a simple need. When the founder's wife, a home cooking instructor, noticed her students struggling to find knives with professional-grade sharpness that were easy to maintain, she brought the question to her husband — a fifth-generation artisan descended from Japan's swordsmith tradition. The answer became NAGOMI: professional performance, designed for real life.

The same steel, the same sharpening standard, the same inspection process used for knives supplied to professional kitchens worldwide — applied to a knife made for yours. Each blade is forged from rust-resistant Molybdenum steel, double-sharpened by master artisans, and hand-finished until blade, wood, and rivets meet seamlessly. Sharp enough for a Michelin-recognized kitchen. Forgiving enough for everyday home cooking.
