This small, family-run blacksmith shop in Kumamoto is new to kitchen knife making, even though they've been making farming and gardening tools for over 90 years. We are their first international customer selling kitchen knives. This transition from farm tools to kitchen knives is a common one with many of our blacksmiths. We've been able to help support these multi-generation businesses by encouraging them to diversify their product offerings as the farm tool business has declined over the past 40 years.
The Yoshito Saku Blue #2 Gyuto 210mm is made with Blue Paper #2 steel and is clad with a soft iron. The kurouchi finish is very attractive and quite smooth. There is also some nice hand-engraved kanji adorning the blade face.
