Mr. Sakoda is a new blacksmith for CKTG. He is located in the Tosa area, which is a few hour's drive south and east of Osaka. He produces simple Japanese kataba and gyutos. The blades he forges use Aogami Super with stainless steel cladding, and he does most of the work by hand, including hand grinding the blades with a file. He uses four different stones and the final process is done with a natural stone. As a result, the production capacity is limited.
