Hinoki is a brand that offers timeless objects of ancient provenance, specializing in highly-refined kitchen instruments. With over 400 years of traditional craftsmanship, Hinoki combines historic techniques with modern design principles to create products that inspire the mind and enhance the way we live. Each Hinoki knife undergoes more than 100 individual production steps, crafted within family-run workshops in Sakai, Osaka, and Seki, Gifu.

These cities have deep roots in Japanese metalsmithing, with a history entwined with the samurai and metallurgy for over four centuries. Honoring this tradition, Hinoki draws upon the techniques and devotion passed down through generations to imbue every knife with exceptional quality and craftsmanship. From their flagship S1 Gyuto Chef's Knife, released in 2018 and hailing from the Sakai workshop, to their newly crafted Essentials line in 2020, Hinoki offers a range of customizable kitchen knives that are unrivaled in their functionality and design.

With a commitment to sustainability, Hinoki prioritizes ethically sourced materials, traditional Japanese bladesmithing techniques, and offers an Eternal Guarantee for products that have a longevity beyond their owners' lifetimes.
