Finish Sharpening and Ebony Handle Uprgade

NO HANDLE Blade Only

Shindo-san is a Tosa based blacksmith to watch. Why? Because of the thin grind, and the polished Kurouchi finish, which to me felt like a Takeda, and because of the Mazaki like surgical style tip.

If you’re asking “Who is this guy”? I anticipate in the next few years everyone will know him. There is no way this smith isn’t going places.

We have also received some custom sayas by Jesse Palmer, a woodworker and knife enthusiast. They are crafted from aspen and offer a snug friction fit, we also include a pin in case you prefer the extra security.

Blacksmith: Kyohei Shindo

Location: Tosa, Japan

Grind: Even

Steel: Aogami #2

Handle: Keyaki with plastic ferrule

Takamura was the first maker to create a knife out of SG2 steel 60 years ago. Before it was popular, they began the journey of creating what is now a formidable blade. It is difficult to find a better stainless blade at this price. Fit and finish are exceptional, and the Laser grind is shocking as it falls through food. Edge retention is excellent with an HRC of ~63. Out of box sharpness is excellent. This is a solid value, a great looking knife and great performer at a great price!

Shindo-san is a Tosa based blacksmith to watch. Why? I think I said “WOW” out loud three times when I picked this up. One reason was because of the thin grind, the second was because of the polished Kurouchi finish, which to me felt like a Takeda, and third was because of the Mazaki like surgical staple style tip. Who is this guy? I anticipate you won’t be asking in few years, there is no way this smith isn’t going places.
