Hello all,
I've been wondering for a little while now what's the difference between Kitaeji and other damascus patterns?
I know Shigefusa is the most synonymous with this style but other makers like heji, tsukasa hinoura, yoshikazu tanaka also make knives that are labeled 'kitaeji'.
What's the actual definition of this term?
Any help is much appreciated!
