Kumagai Kajiya is a 10th-generation blacksmith workshop based in the fishing town of Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture. Rooted in Sanriku’s coastal culture, the brand has long supported fishermen, divers, and everyday workers with tools built for real conditions.
From oyster knives, scallop nata, and abalone tools to weeding sickles and gardening cutters, each item is forged to be strong, flexible, and comfortable to use over time.
Kumagai’s tools are shaped by direct feedback from people at sea and on land. Fishing gear is designed for safety and reliability during demanding onboard work, while gardening tools bring precision and ease to daily care.
Traditional forging techniques are combined with practical innovation, including stainless steel options, left-handed designs, and laser engraving for personalization.
