The Blacksmith
Mazaki-san is a relatively new blacksmith but has gained a reputation as a great knife maker is 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. Rather than buying pre-laminated steel, Mazaki-san opts to forge weld the steel he uses to make knives in house and finishes each knife by hand polishing them on Japanese natural whetstones. He worked at Yoshikane, 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!
The Knife
The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent to a standard western style Chef's knife and is THE most versatile shape available. It can be used to break down fish and other animals, chop vegetables with both an up and down and rocking motion, slice cooked and raw proteins and anything else you can think of. We highly recommend this shape to anyone looking for that one go to knife they can grab with confidence for any task.
