Ice Bear are a company established in 1968, specialising in ceramic and hand-forged knives and water sharpening stones all made in Miki city, the traditional producing center in Japan.
Having seen the decrease of blacksmiths specialising in woodworking tools and knives, all of which posses a long history from the ancient period of Japan, Ice Bear have been trying their best to introduce Japanese "Traditional Style" fine woodworking tools, knives and water stones to the Western countries for the last half century.
Ice Bear are one of the pioneers in reproducing traditional style woodworking tools, knives and water stones.
