[ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ]
If you have ever examined a Japanese kitchen knife, you have surely heard of Kiyoshi Kato. Ivan has sharpened Kato's knives countless times, but this was the first time for both of us(Ivan and Yuka) to see Kato's Japanese sword in person, one of the greatest kitchen knife collector (@knife.knackery).

Ivan had just finished polishing Kato's Tamahagane Yanagiba, and the details of his work were evident on both the Yanagiba and the Japanese sword. The blades, both made of Tamahagane, are beautiful with folded steel, which made them more difficult to sharpen/polish. But Tamahagane Yanagiba with the feel of a Japanese sword is truly impressive.
Please check out the video for visual details of Japanese swords and kitchen knives!

One theory suggests that Sakai's Japanese kitchen knives were first made to cut small tobacos/cigarettes from overseas and were based on Japanese swords. We share our life from Kyoto, Japan, so that those who are currently interested in Japanese kitchen knives can now step into the beauty of Japanese swords as well.

包丁研ぎ歴25年、現在は日本三代包丁産地である大阪府堺市で包丁会社に勤めているカナダ人と、そのパートナーのYukaです。
今回は海外の和包丁コレクターに人気の加藤 清志氏がつくった、作品を見にコレクターさんのもとに訪れました。
日本刀の材料と同じ玉鋼で作られた柳刃をアイバンが研ぎ終わりまして、コレクターさんにお渡しする際に、コレクションの一つである加藤氏の刀を見せていただきました。形は日本刀と刀で異なりますが、同じ玉鋼を使っているということもあり、細かい特徴が似ているところが多いです。
