Homura

The Homura series includes two notable collections: the Guren and the Kogetsu.

The Homura Guren series is a set of premium Kurouchi knives, hand-forged by the skilled blacksmith Itsuo Doi using Aogami #2 steel. The name “Guren” or “Red Lotus” is inspired by the vibrant red flames made by burning fine pine charcoal in the forge. The handles on these knives are Half Rounded Octagonal Oak wood burnt-finished & dyed Japanese Lacquered (Urushi) that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.

The Homura Kogetsu series, on the other hand, features a Kasumi finish. The blade is carefully stretched out to achieve the best result with sharpness and persistence. The handle is made of Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata) wood, with a Buffalo horn ring.
