An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Sujihiki knife, a traditional Japanese slicer, is designed for carving and fileting. With its long, narrow blade, typically ranging from 240mm to 330mm, it excels in creating clean, smooth cuts through meat and fish. Its length ensures long, uninterrupted strokes, making it perfect for precise slicing tasks.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Super Steel, an elite variant of the "Aogami" series, is a high-carbon steel alloyed with chromium, tungsten, and added vanadium. This composition enhances its wear resistance, edge retention, and overall toughness. It will still rust if left wet for too long, but not as quickly as any of the other carbon steels. Favored in fine knife crafting, Blue Super Steel is renowned for producing exceptionally sharp and durable Japanese knives.

Katsushige Anryu is a fourth-generation blacksmith from Echizen, Japan, continuing a family legacy that began in 1873 with his great-grandfather, Hansaburo Anryu. Joining the family forge straight out of high school in 1959, Anryu-san went on to master traditional knife forging under the guidance of his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, and was later certified as a Traditional Craftsman of Japan.

Highly respected for both his craft and character, Anryu-san has served as the Chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Cooperative, a collective of Echizen’s most esteemed makers. In 2015, he was awarded a Medal of Honour for Traditional Crafts, recognising his lifelong dedication to preserving and advancing the art of Japanese bladesmithing.
