We have worked hard on traditional Japanese craftsmanship and exquisite cutting tools over a thousand years ago, using strictly selected steel. Inherited the remains of Kantou master level hidden mountain knife craftsman Hiroshiro Kawagawa and worked hard. Chuanhong Daodao was founded in the 5th year of Showa. The spirit and core values are a masterpiece that Japan is proud of, extending the traditional forging techniques that will be passed down in the future to a unique cutting tool art, elevating Kawahiro’s cutting tools to become a musical note in cuisine. Kawahiro Ichiro said, “Knives live to express all beauty, but I live to make all knives.” He enjoyed the casting process of all knives and listened to the sound of all hammers forging. He is rigorous in quality, meticulous in detail, and praises all Chuanhong knives as artworks. Chuanhong’s cutting tools are carefully crafted from high-quality steel, highlighting the sharpness and lightness of the blade. The pursuit of tool design allows every user to instantly feel the lightweight blade and comfortable and sharp cutting pleasure.
