IMO, few things bring me more pleasure than using a quality knife that has been properly sharpened to a surgeon's precision. My Grandfather was a butcher and he taught me the value of good steel, sharp edges and the proper care of all tools. Proudly, I have several of his tools of his trade and they are always maintained in a state of scary sharp readiness...and respect

I recently visited Japan and wanted to buy a handcrafted knife directly from the craftsman who made it. Unfortunately, I wasn't organised enough to visit a smithy for this to happen. The next best thing is purchasing one of these knives - which I have just done. Seeing 3 generations working in the shop together, including a 10th generation craftsman, is incredibly special. I look forward to many, many years using the knife (and handing it down to one of my children).

Fourth your dad doesn't look 90 or close to it either! Super Sugoi!! You have another subscriber! And great your son is also involved! I have some knives from Takashi Saji I bought while I was there. Now I know about you guys!
