Japanese kitchen knives are characterized by their razor-sharp cutting edge and durability, made possible by techniques derived from Japanese sword-making. Their quality is highly regarded throughout the world.

The oldest surviving Japanese kitchen knife dates from the Nara period and is preserved at the Shōsōin in Nara. As knives were consumable items used with regular sharpening, very few old examples survive; however, it is believed that they existed even before the Nara period. These ancient knives resembled Japanese swords in shape and are distinguished by their exceptionally long handles.

It is said that knives closely resembling the modern Deba, Yanagiba, and Nakiri styles were perfected during the mid- to late Edo period.

The Edo period was an era of social stability during which Japanese culture flourished greatly. Alongside this, a wide variety of food cultures blossomed, and the tools suited to each style of cuisine developed accordingly.
