Touroku Sakai Tohwa Shirogami Sakimaru Takohiki 300mm

About Touroku Sakai Tohwa - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly. 

For this knife series Toroku Sakai got us connected to this super talented sharpener, Masaya Shimizu-san, who used to work for Yamawaki hamono. He is also the guy behind this youtube channel Hatsukeya https://www.youtube.com/@hatsukeya. His knives are some of the nicest single bevel knives we've ever seen. He is very enthusiastic about learning new techniques. The knife line is named after the middle school that Shimizu-san and our very own Naoto attended!
