Wakui-San has transformed his family pry bar forging business into our favorite new Sanjo knifemaking shops.
Wakui-san began his journey into knifemaking working long hours as an apprentice at Yoshikane Cutlery in Sanjo, Japan. Wakui-san forges, heat treats and grinds all his knives in his small Sanjo workshop. We first carried his knives in 2015 and were immediately impressed. His hard work shows in the quality of his smithing and excellent grinding work. We are really proud to offer his knives!
The Wakui 270mm Sujihiki Stainless Clad Aogami 2 Nashiji Warikomi Chestnut is made of high quality fabric, which makes it light and comfortable. The Wakui 270mm Sujihiki Stainless Clad Aogami 2 Nashiji Warikomi Chestnut is a must-have for any fan and the Wakui 270mm Sujihiki Stainless Clad Aogami 2 Nashiji Warikomi Chestnut is easy to take care of and will last for years.
Wakui knives are characterized by a solid middle-weight yet robust Sanjo feel — very thin behind the edges, thicker at the spine, and amazingly easy to sharpen with clean grinds easy for follow up thinning.
