Japanese tradition of manufacturing excellence

Expertise in the forging, casting, and honing of high-quality steel and other metals dates back in Miki City, Japan 2000 years to the days of feudal warfare. Under the protection of the reigning feudal lord in the 12th century, Miki City became the center of the blacksmith industry in all of Asia. The skills of the craftsmen who were secreted in Miki City grew over the centuries from the design and manufacture of swords, armor, and other arms of war to extremely precise carpentry tools used in Japan’s wood manufacturing industry.

Today Miki City’s 2000-year-old hardware industry is based on modern mass-production techniques, but relies on strict attention to design, engineering, and precise manufacturing tolerances.
