Product description
Naoki Mazaki is a blacksmith located in Sanjo, Niigata. He works alone in his small workshop and handles all aspects of his knife making. He focuses primarily on forging Shirogami (White) #2 carbon steel cladded in iron. The nashiji kurouchi displays all of the character and detail that happens during the forging process. The octagonal handle is made from magnolia and walnut ferrule. The light wood and size of the blade give it a nice forward cutting feel in hand.
