清光緒年間刀業始祖吳宗山君習藝於廈門,專營打鐵及農具鍛造;至吳朝熙君承襲家業,於西元一九三七年創建金合利製刀廠並設址金城吳厝,悠悠已逾七十寒暑。


日據時代物料短缺,鋼材輸入資費驚人,吳君初取盟軍轟炸遺留砲彈殼試鍛刀具,是為鋼刀起源。期間吳君更秉持祖訓,不畏路遙肩挑鐵爐,遍訪全島服務桑梓,「打鐵師」盛名令童叟皆知。


後金門久遭對岸砲火洗禮,歷經「八二三砲戰」等多次戰役,承受達百萬發砲彈,猛烈程度堪稱戰史之最,卻意外為製刀業留下取用不盡之材。吳君乃有計畫蒐購全島廢彈殼,運用巧思發揮刀藝,鍛造出馳名中外的「金門鋼刀


今日「金門鋼刀」已享譽全台,刀廠傳人吳增棟君力圖將之推向國際舞台,為防贗品混充,首創開放現場指定砲殼製刀之先河,獨特的承製方式讓鋼刀倍添風采
