-- Craftsman Overview --
Akihito Fujiwara

The family business has been a blacksmith for generations, but he had no intention of following in his parents' footsteps because he had seen their hard work up close.
After graduating from high school, he went to work for a local crusher manufacturer.
Kiyoshi Ito, the master craftsman there, taught him the basics of being a member of society and how to be a craftsman.
I took a different path from blacksmithing, but when I happened to peek into the workshop, I saw my father working and thought, "かっこええな（So Cool）," so I took over the family business.

I joined the company in 2014. Engaged in manufacturing small knives and existing smaller knives.
In 2017, he learned sharpening techniques and other skills from Keiichi Fujii, a sharpener in Sakai.
Since then, he started manufacturing double-edged kitchen knives, Masayu, Deba, and other kitchen knives.

We are working hard to make kitchen knives that customers can choose from among many kitchen knife makers and craftsmen.
We carefully polish the jaw and back parts of our knives.
