Citron

The 'thank you' from a customer who holds the finished knife is my greatest reward.

As a craftsman, no matter how much effort and skill I put into my work, the most important thing is the reaction when the knife is finally in the customer's hands. The word 'thank you' from the person using the knife is the most valuable reward I could ever receive.

That one word carries more meaning than all the effort, time, and care I put into creating the knife. While I feel a sense of accomplishment the moment the knife is completed, what truly matters is the satisfaction and joy of the customer. Imagining them enjoying their cooking with the blade, I know that no matter how tired I might feel, that single 'thank you' makes everything worthwhile.

To hear "thank you" is more than just a word. It is proof that the knife I crafted has made its way into daily life, contributing to joyful meals and the smiles that follow. It is these moments that inspire me to continue crafting knives with care and dedication.
