Taguchi Knives

These knives are crafted by young blacksmith Masato Taguchi, born in 1992 and part of the new generation of talented Takefu makers. Taguchi-san trained at the workshop of renowned smith Yoshimi Kato, where he learned the foundational skills that shape the blade’s geometry, grain structure, and character. What makes Taguchi-san particularly interesting is his blend of curiosity for new methods and respect for tradition. That balance of innovation and discipline shows in his work.
