I want to pass on the skills that make someone say, ‘This is the real deal,’ the moment they hold a finely sharpened knife.

When someone picks up a knife for the first time or uses it in their kitchen, and they feel, “This is genuine craftsmanship,” that moment is the greatest reward and ultimate goal for us as artisans.

Sharpening a knife isn’t just about creating a sharp edge. It’s about ensuring the knife is effortless to use, adaptable to any dish, and instills a sense of trust and reliability in its owner. This trust, this sense of “confidence,” is what we aim to craft with every blade.

Achieving this level of craftsmanship requires years of experience and an acute ability to read the subtle changes in the materials and the blade itself. But our role as traditional artisans doesn’t stop at perfecting our own skills. It’s equally vital to pass down this knowledge and spirit to the next generation, ensuring the continuity of these traditions.

From the comfort someone feels when holding the knife, to the amazement of its cutting performance, and the bond that grows through years of use—every knife we make embodies these moments. My mission is to continue creating such knives while passing down the techniques and dedication that make them possible. This is both my pride as a craftsman and my promise to the future.
