Third-generation blacksmith of Saji Hamono, originally known for making hunting and outdoor knives, with a bold and powerful aesthetic.

Steel Introduction:
⭕️VG10-W: Manufactured by Takefu Special Steel in Japan, VG10-W is an upgraded version of standard VG10. By adding tungsten (W), it enhances VG10's already excellent properties. Tungsten forms hard, fine carbides that further improve wear resistance and edge retention while maintaining excellent hardness even after heat treatment (HRC 61+). Compared to standard VG10, VG10-W offers 20% greater durability and 25% improved cutting performance. Ideal for premium kitchen knives and even more demanding cutting applications, VG10-W represents the next generation of high-performance cutlery steel.

Knife Introduction:
⭕️Sujihiki: A double-edged slicing knife with a long, slender blade designed for trimming sinew, removing fat membranes, and slicing proteins with ease. Also suitable for preparing thin, precise cuts of meat or fish.
