Brand description

Why did Japan's greatest warlords carry blades called Samonji?

Because nothing else came close.

Chikuzen — present-day Fukuoka.

In 1274 and 1281, the Mongol Empire invaded Japan here.

Samurai fought them back at the water's edge, blade against blade, until the storms remembered as kamikaze — the divine wind — swept the invaders' fleet away.

On this front line, a sword meant survival.

From that crucible rose Ō-Sa, "the Great Sa."

Trained, legend says, under the great Masamune, he signed his work with a single character:

左 — Sa

One stroke of a chisel. A lifetime of mastery.

Nobunaga. Hideyoshi. Ieyasu.

Japan's legendary warlords competed to own his blades and passed them down like crowns.

Today, the battlefield is your kitchen.

CHIKUZEN SAMONJI

born in Fukuoka, crafted in Japan by blade makers we chose the way a warlord chose his sword.

Choose like a warlord.
