Imarku
A Century of Japanese Bladesmithing
Founded in 1949 by a Japanese family of master bladesmiths, each knife is crafted through 108 traditional forging steps. Premium steel is hand-folded 15 times, creating 32,768 layers that balance hardness and resilience.
Using a traditional clay-coated quenching technique, the edge develops a subtle, moonlike wave. Finished at a 15° angle and hand-polished with 3000-grit stones, the blade delivers precise, enduring sharpness.
In 2016, this heritage crossed the Pacific to the U.S., quickly earning the trust of professional kitchens, including Michelin-starred chefs.

I can look at my crazy purple knife set for kitchen 14-piece and feel full of lilac stuff in my kitchen. It does match with my dinnerware and forks, spoons and lilac glasses as well.

I received the Imarku Rolling Knife Sharpener as a Christmas gift. I sharpened a small cleaver and a chef's knife and in both cases the edge came out strong, clean and sharp.

I absolutely love this magnetic knife holder. I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived. It sucks the magnet to it before you even touch the blade to the wood. Looks amazing in our kitchen.

This is my second order ! I love these Imarku non stick cast iron pans! I’m a professional chef and I use mine every day. As nonstick pans are, you can’t go wrong with these!

The handles are comfortable and non-slip. The knives are all very sharp and make cutting through different things really easy. I really like that the knife set comes with a built in sharpener.

Best cookware I ever owned. Truly non-stick, cleans with just a wipe of a paper towel, & cooks evenly. They are a bit heavy, but then I am 80 years old and they are cast iron. :)
Justin
Nice wood block, super sharp knives. Had a knife for almost every occasion. The knives look great and are very light weight. I believe these knives will hold up with time.
