京都的有次創始店位於大阪傳統職人也是名刀製作地西元1981才把店搬遷至京都錦市場雖說有次並非是京都所出身的刀具店(菊一文字才是京都出身老鋪)但在日本也包括海外料理職人都熱愛使用有次的刀具

有次刀因著不同功用料理的方式而有不同選擇的刀具但全部都是手工鋼版製作一個專業廚房會從刀的型狀刀峰和刀的銳利度就觀察出刀的好壞。由於買刀時不能試切所以之前有一位日本米其林三星的主廚表示,「選用刀我會帶幾根頭髮來測試銳利度顯然有次的刀是經得起市場考驗的。」

有次第十八代的老闆寺久保真一郎17歲就入行製作刀具他說一把好的刀製作過程需要燒碳鋼,加熱變硬時,要迅速冷卻,並要鋼一層一層壓製。而有次刀所使用三種不同等級的碳鋼,都是由最好碳所煉製再加上一些額外的化學元素,以保持刀片邊緣的鋒利。

雖然我的祖先有製作過皇室內務府戰刀武士刀但料理用的刀有明顯不同一個是用於殺敵一個是用於撫慰世人的胃所以我祖先後來才發展從武士刀到雕塑佛像刀具最後轉成料理刀。」寺久保表示,刀的大小及品質會影響價格近年來日本的景氣不好很多人喜歡使用便宜又方便的陶瓷刀、放棄傳統刀他不以為然認為維持刀具的品質是一項使命就算賠錢也要把刀做到最好

 Aritsugu is a Japanese knife and cooking utensil producer and store, founded by Fujiwara Aritsugu in 1560, making it one of the oldest still existing knifemakers in Japan. 

Aritsugu was originally involved in the production of swords and was appointed a supplier for the Imperial House of Japan, before the requirement for new blades diminished due to a more peaceful era emerging through the influence of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period in the 17th and 18th centuries.It was during this period that Aritsugu switched its primary production from swords to the pointed knives that were used to carve statues of Buddha.The late 19th century Meiji period saw a strong growth in demand for kitchen knives and cooking utensils developing in Japan thanks to a stable government and improved living conditions. Aritsugu used its experience in blade production to focus on this emerging market.

The current proprietor of Aritsugu is Shinichiro Terakubo, having taken over from his father in 1956 when Shinichiro was 17 years of age.He is the 18th generation to be involved in the running of the store since its inception. Shinichiro also teaches cooking, as well as knife sharpening and use classes through the store.

 

The main store is presently at the Nishiki Market in Kyoto having moved there in 1981 from Sakaimachi Street, where the shop was located for almost 400 years and the company's offices are still based.A selection of the company's products are also available from the Takashimaya department store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
