So I've been thinking about this knife a lot. See some in the BST and see some on vendors insta. But is it forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka or Shiraki. I always thought it was Yoshikazu, and that's what CKC says. But MTC says Mr. Nakagawa of Shiraki in their description of what seems to be the same knife... they also says YT forges the Takada Ginsan. Obviously he's a smith whose pretty famous for his carbon steels, Blue 1 in particular, so it would make more sense that he did the Blue 1 for them. Anyone know for sure, or are they two different products. They're labelled and appear EXACTLY the same. Takada no Hamono Suiboku Rosewood Blue #1 Gyuto 240mm. Takada Blue Steel 1 Suiboku Gyuto 240mm (9.4") with Rosewood handle.
