Introducing Hinoura Knives- Tsukasa and Ajikatiya

Our something special is finally up for sale... check it out here:
Tsukasa 300mm White Steel Enryu Kurouchi Damascus Yanagiba

We also have some other knives (made by Hinoura-san and his son)... you can find them here:
Hinoura Knives

Anyways, back to the yanagiba... we ordered this knife over a year ago, when we first met Hinoura-san and his son. This year, when we visited him again, he had the knife finally ready for us. He told us he made it a few times until he was happy with it. We've only got one of them, so once its gone, its gone. So, without further adieu, here are some pictures:

Jon... I hate you... just saying... (wheres that darn CC...)

I just love that knife and I'm not a damascus fan... if cash was not an issue that puppy would be sold... and if I didn't think my wife would shoot me... I'd buy it anyway...

That takes craftsmanship to a whole 'nother level. Do knifemakers in Japan ever become Living National Treasures?

nope... national living treasure is more of a sword maker pottery etc. thing
