Doi Knives

Itsuo Doi carries forward a blacksmith tradition rooted in Sakai, working in the same division-of-labor system that has defined the city's knife craft for centuries — each blade passing from specialist to specialist until it is finished. His work anchors the Takayuki Homura line at CKTG, one of the more distinctive and collectible series we carry, available in Blue #2 steel across gyutos, sujihikis, yanagibas, and traditional Japanese formats.
