Nao Yamamoto, a highly respected blacksmith hailing from Echizen, stands out with his extraordinary craftsmanship. He is a master at executing the unique "Nimai-Hiroge" technique, which results in an exquisite balance of sharpness, effortless cutting performance, and sustained edge retention. The remarkable thinness of his edges is a testament to his skill. We only wish we could get more of these.
