Why KAMIYA

Since our founding in 1953, KAMIYA KIKO has been a pioneer in the "Custom-Made Industrial Blade" industry. We have supported a vast array of cutting technologies across diverse industrial sectors, both domestically and internationally.

Our journey began with the manufacturing of circular saws for wood processing. As the global economy has diversified, so did our expertise—expanding into ferrous and non-ferrous metals, electronic components, semiconductors, high-performance films, and liquid crystal panels (such as polarizing plates). We continue to provide custom-engineered solutions to meet the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of our clients.

In today’s manufacturing landscape, we gain a lot from a multiplying effect amongst a cutting-edge machinery and human craftsmanship is essential. While automated mechanical technology provides high precision and productivity, human artistry—driven by creativity, intuition, and decades of experience—is vital for the optimal refinement of every blade.

At KAMIYA, we never compromise on either. We are committed to a manufacturing philosophy that maximizes both operational efficiency and creative craftsmanship. As a result, we have built a proven track record of innovation, successfully delivering specialized and ultra-thin blades that are often considered too challenging to manufacture elsewhere.

By fully leveraging our mastery of techniques—such as electrical discharge grinding for PCD edges, carbide brazing for large-diameter ultra-thin circular knives, and high-precision setting for fine-toothed saws—we deliver the optimal tooling solutions our customers require.

Furthermore, by applying the expertise gained through the production of precision cutting tools, we also offer manufacturing services for various high-precision components, including ultra-thin blades for the electronic components sector, for which demand has risen significantly in recent years.

At KAMIYA, we bring the 'KAMIYA Ecosystem' to life through our proprietary re-sharpening and re-coating technologies. Building upon the traditional 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), we introduce a fourth element—Respect for our customers' business and the environment—to establish our core 4R concept. This holistic approach has been widely adopted by our customers as a key driver in achieving their SDG targets.

By significantly extending tool life, we continue to earn high praise from our customers for our tangible contributions to waste reduction, resource preservation, and environmental sustainability.

Choosing between restoring the performance of a used blade through re-sharpening and re-coating or replacing it with a new one is a decision that directly affects our customers' profitability. Additionally, a blade's true performance depends on more than just sharpness; key factors like tool materials and surface coatings must be optimized for each specific usage scenario.

Considering the workpiece material, shape, and application, we evaluate the entire setup—including the cutting machinery—to provide comprehensive, one-stop solutions customized to your needs.
