Naohito Myojin got his start leaning how to forge knives at the age of 18 before deciding to train in the art of sharpening under Morihiro-san of famous knifemaker Konosuke-Sakai. After ten years of working in the Osaka region, he decided to move back to his hometown of Kochi where he now runs the family business Riki Seisakusho and Tetsujin Labo with Toru Tamura.
This blade ships from Japan. We cannot control and are not responsible for duties outside of Japan.
Care:
Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Cutting Surface:
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such
as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.
Sharpening:
We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Love it. A combination of stainless steels and a very durable material on a wa handle with a very high performing blade is very, very good. I want more knives like this.
