You will probably be surprised to know that Jikko's founder, Itaro Jikko, started his career as a knife forger more than 100 years ago as a grinder. His motto in life is "Once in a Lifetime Meeting": "Let's treat it as a once in a lifetime meeting and do our best for each other." When forging knives, Jikko craftsmen believe that they put their soul into the process of creating each piece. They respect the teachings of the great Sakai man - Sen no Rikyu, and the tradition of knife forging with the spirit of the past. Jikko's knives pay special attention to perfection down to the smallest detail, which is why Jikko's knives always have a beautiful appearance, attracting attention at first sight.
