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 SAW & KNIFE MFG. CO., LTD, we achieve the "KAMIYA Ecosystem" through our unique technology of re-sharpening and re-coating. Based on the principles of the 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - we add the element of Respect for our customers' business and the environment, forming the foundational concept of 4R. Many customers have adopted this approach as part of their efforts to achieve SDGs goals.

By extending the lifespan of blades even further, we have received high praise from our customers for contributing to waste reduction, resource reuse, and environmental sustainability.

The decision between restoring the performance of a long-used blade through re-sharpening and re-coating or replacing it with a new one directly impacts the profitability of our customers. Additionally, the performance of a blade is not solely determined by its sharpness. Factors such as the material of the blade and its coating play crucial roles, and each usage scenario requires optimal specifications.

Taking into account the material being cut (workpiece), its shape, and the intended application, we construct comprehensive systems from a holistic perspective, including cutting machines, to provide one-stop solutions tailored to our customers' needs.
