Doi Knives

Itsuo Doi carries forward a blacksmith tradition rooted in Sakai, working in the same division-of-labor system that has defined the citys 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 most artisan Sakai lines we carry, distinguished by iron cladding, hamaguri convex grinds, and a level of handwork that shows in every cut.
