These beautiful knives from Tetsujin Hamono are made by a duo of childhood friends, the blacksmith Tetsu, and sharpener Myojin, who is known for his work on the Konosuke Fujiyama line. These knives are top performers, and while quite heavy in hand, they are laser thin behind the edge and cut like it. 

An incredibly high level of fit and finish is shown off on the polish and grind of these blades, with a beautiful hazy cladding full of banding (which is a little hard to show off in photos), and a near mirror polished core steel. Handles are on the beefy side which nicely balance these thick-at-the-spine blades, and give the knife a great chopping and push cutting weight. While we don't like picking favorites at the shop, it is very difficult to find anything wrong with these knives at all, and we're super happy to have them in the shop available to our customers!
