Brand description
Takeshi Saji is a master blacksmith based in Takefu, Echizen, Fukui Prefecture - a city renowned for blade-making since the 14th century. Working in the Echizen tradition, Saji forges each knife by hand, selecting premium steel and applying meticulous heat treatment to achieve exceptional sharpness and durability. His legacy lives on through Mr. Kazuo Nomura and the dedicated craftsmen of his workshop, who have not only mastered Saji's techniques but fully inherited his creative spirit - with Mr. Nomura himself earning the same Dento-Kougeishi distinction in his own right. The art of Saji bladesmithing is not fading; it is being carried forward with equal dedication into the next generation.
