The Blacksmith
Mazaki-san is a relatively new blacksmith but has gained a reputation as a great knife maker in a short amount of time. He focuses on producing knives in the most traditional ways possible and completes each knife by himself, only having added his first team member (His wife who does not help with production), in the past year. Mazaki-san uses a combination of pre-laminated and in-house laminated steels in an effort to makes knives in the most traditional ways possible and finishes each knife by hand polishing them on Japanese natural whetstones. He worked at Yoshikane Hamono, another very well regarded knife maker, for a number of years but decided to pursue the dream of opening his own business and we could not be happier that he did! Mazaki-san’s knives typically have a nice, tall blade height, and the profiles are always evolving with each batch, giving them a distinctly unique look. The distal taper on his knives are characteristic of Sanjo region knives, coming thick out of the handle, and thin at the tip.
The Knife
The gyuto is an all purpose knife and the Japanese equivalent to the western chef's knife, and 210mm is the equivalent of the standard 8 inch variation of that knife. From slicing, dicing, chopping, and carving the gyuto can do it all, and this one in particular has a hybrid profile that has enough sweep to rock and a big enough flat spot on the heel to chop comfortably.
