The name of this series is “Murato” that is a combination of “mura”, a part of the company’s name, and “to”, a unit of measurement to indicate an unchanging standard. The name bears the meaning of the unchanging standard in our “user-friendly” craftmanship, which has been vital to us since the company was established in 1874.
The knives of the Murato Series are kitchenware that focus on "ease of use" and "superior sharpness" for those who enjoy cooking. This series interweaves the traditional handwork by Tsubame-Sanjo craftsmen and advanced machining technique.
VG-10 three-layer steel
The three-layer steel is easy to sharpen and VG-10, a material loved by professional chefs is used as its core. Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Cobalt, which enhance the longevity of the sharpness, are added to the high-carbon stainless steel.
A balanced design
The heaviness of the blade that weight and the balance of the center of gravity are optimized to suit the skills of professional chefs allows you to cut into gristly meat, large vegetables, and hard food with a lighter force.
Wet grinding
The craftsmen of Tsubame-Sanjo create a hamaguri-shaped edge (a blade with a cross-section that resembles a clam) using the traditional “wet grinding” method. The gentle curve of the edge reduces the resistance when cutting into food and with its excellent sharpness, it provides a smooth cut.
Handle shape
The handle is narrow at the root and thick at the end, so it is easy to hold and transmit force. The material is carefully hand-polished by craftsmen to create a curved handle that comfortably fits in the hand.

Blade material
Molybdenum and Vanadium are added to the high-carbon stainless steel for a hardness and a long-lasting sharpness, allowing the user to use the knife without stress.
A balanced design
We optimized the weight of the knife and its center of gravity. The heaviness of the knife will allow the user to easily cut food. At the same time, the knife is light enough, so it will not tire the wrists when peeling vegetables.
Wet grinding
The craftsmen of Tsubame-Sanjo created a thin and sharp edge through grinding and wet grinding methods. The sharp edge enables the blade to sharply cut food.
Handle shape
The streamline-shaped handle comfortably fits in the hands and is designed so that women with small hands can cut with ease. The arched line on the surface of the handle prevents the knife from slipping out of wet hands and reduces the cold sensation when the handle is held.
