Philosophy

Original Technology
Original Products
These are the principles
upon which we haveestablished our company.
Innovation from tradition
Master blacksmith Kankichi Kamiya founded the company Uchihamonishi
Kanefusa in 1896. In 1931, his son Suzuo Watanabe took over the company –the start of a new era. With his enthusiasm for modern production techniques,innovative technologies and his ability to think ahead, Suzuo Watanabe set
the course for the successful development of the company. In 1937, he founded “Kanefusa Hamono Ltd” and ultimately “Kanefusa Hamono Kogyo Co.
Ltd” in 1948, which was renamed “Kanefusa Corporation” in 1990.
Suzuo Watanabe’s enthusiasm for finding better solutions, innovative technologies and cutting tools to provide users with real value added is characteristicof Kanefusa through to the present day and can be felt throughout the wholecompany. The culture creates milestones in the field of cutting technology, isexpressed in unique products, lives through our modern research center –and is carried on by a highly qualified and committed management and staff.
It is this enthusiasm that makes us what we are: Japan’s largest industrial
knife and circular saw blade manufacturer, the epitome of innovative power
and of quality for our customers around the world. This is a company with agreat tradition that is ideally equipped for the challenges of the future.
Welcome to Kanefusa.
