Ikeda Yoshikazu Honyaki Japanese Kitchen Peeling Knife 163mm From Japan

Description: Description Blade length: 163mm (from the tip to the girth) Blade width: 35mm Thickness: 3.5mm to 2.5mm toward the tip Mark: “By Shotaro Seal: Sakai Uchihamono traditional craft designation (Each item is individually numbered so that you can easily identify who made the knife.) These knives are forged and hardened by a Sakai blacksmith, Mr. Miwa Ikeda (traditional craftsman), and edged by a bladesmith, Mr. Shotaro Nomura (traditional craftsman). Mr. Miwa Ikeda, a traditional craftsman, is a master in making “Mizuhon-yaki” knives. You can see his reputation on the Internet. There are only a few people in Japan who have this special technique, and it seems that only a few blacksmiths are able to produce Mizuhon-yaki kitchen knives that can deliver the full performance of Mizuhon-yaki knives. Shotaro Nomura (traditional craftsman) Year of employment: 1962 Certified as a traditional craftsman in 1988 Awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Silver Rays, 2009 Mr. Nomura studied under Mr. Ino, a master craftsman of the Showa period (1926-1989), who drilled into him the essence of what a jomon is. Mr. Ino told him, “Make a good product, even if it's just one knife,” whereas an ordinary craftsman (a craftsman who makes kitchen knives for home use) makes only a few knives of moderate quality. After becoming independent, Mr. Nomura has kept his teachings and has been doing a high level of work (bladesmithing) for every order. He performs four or five processes where other craftsmen perform three. He practices “sharpening” that not only looks beautiful at first sight, but also makes you feel the quality of the blade as you use it. There are only a few craftsmen in Sakai who have more than 50 years of experience in the art of making fine blades, and there is no end to the number of young craftsmen who come to Sakai to learn their skills.
