This study investigates the competitive advantage of the business system of the kitchen knife industry, which is one of the most popular traditional industries, for their further growth. We had an interview with managers and owners of the companies producing kitchen knives in Sakai, Seki and Tsubame in Japan. The results of this research are below. (1)Companies in Sakai have produced Japanese style kitchen knives by using the system of specialization of manufacturers, which is coordinated by wholesalers. But this system has been disintegrating with a decrease of coordination power of wholesalers. (2)Companies in Seki and Tsubame, which have produced western style kitchen knives, have the rationality and the flexibility to achieve economies of scale, speed and scope, leading to their competitive advantage. (3)They use OEM(original equipment manufacturing)trade among their industrial clusters to avoid the decline of the knife and cutlery industry in Japan. (4)Although they have core skills and strong brands, they have missed an opportunity for growth because of their own strength. Thus, it is suggested that keeping the balance of tradition and innovation is the key to achieving long-term growth.
