Japanese kitchen knives are characterized by their sharp cutting edge and durability, made possible by the same techniques used in crafting Japanese swords. Their quality is highly regarded around the world.

The oldest surviving Japanese kitchen knife dates from the Nara period and is preserved at the Shōsōin in Nara. As kitchen knives were consumable items that were worn down through repeated sharpening, very few old examples survive; however, it is believed that they existed even before the Nara period. These ancient knives are characterized by their resemblance to Japanese swords and their particularly long handles.

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

The Edo period was an era of social stability during which Japanese culture flourished greatly. Along with this, a diverse food culture blossomed, and the tools suited to each style of cooking developed alongside it.
