Literally made from bombshells, Maestro Wu knives - from the island of Kin-Men (pronounced Gin-Men)- are the most sought after knives in Taiwan. Their reputation as high-end knives was earned by Mr. Chao-Hsi Wu, who collected these shells and went from house to house carrying a forging furnace on his shoulder serving the local communities. Today, these knives can be found throughout the world not only as hard working dependable knives, but also as highly regarded, unique collector's items.
