yep, he generally makes natas (japanese hunting knives) under his family's brand Ajigataya. Hinoura is his own brand
Having never used a hinoura, I will say, for knives as thick as these, those look like some shallow bevels. I can easily see how these could be prone to wedging. If I'm not mistaken, hinoura is known for making outdoor knives. His bevels look similar in depth to Heijis who
