Tadashi Enami is a nationally certified Dentoukogeishi (master of traditional crafts) who specializes in forging knives using the wakashizuke technique of bonding iron to hard steel when making single-bevel knives. He uses iron powder and heat to do this, which is customary with old-school blacksmiths in Japan. Our sayas DO NOT fit this knife.
