With designer eyeglasses and a nonchalant hairstyle — Mr Yoshizawa would not feel out of place in a design firm in Europe. A fan of arts, music and literature, Mr Yoshizawa does not fit the typical profile of a knife maker. He believes a broad perspective opens new doors, and studying arts and music hones his sensitivity to the world around him. In 2008, he created the Anmon pattern, based on the impression of the Anmon Waterfalls, cascading from the foot of the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains adjacent to the city of Hirosaki, where the family business is based. “But in fact, the first inspiration for Anmon came from Andy Warhol's paintings of John Lennon. I love both of them. John's glasses look like waves.” Mr Yoshizawa once said in an interview.

Because it is not stainless, it is crucial to dry your knife thoroughly after each use, especially the core steel exposed beyond the stainless cladding. Over time, a patina will develop, which may appear as “discoloration” on the edge; this is a natural characteristic of carbon steel and not a defect. It's important to differentiate between patina and rust: patina develops from within the steel and usually doesn't affect the surface texture, whereas rust has a copper\/brownish color, forms on the surface, and can create a rough texture when severe. The iron cladding can also develop patina and rust, so it's best to oil the entire blade before storing it.

With designer eyeglasses and a nonchalant hairstyle — Mr Yoshizawa would not feel out of place in a design firm in Europe. A fan of arts, music and literature, Mr Yoshizawa does not fit the typical profile of a knife maker. He believes a broad perspective opens new doors, and studying arts and music hones his sensitivity to the world around him. In 2008, he created the Anmon pattern, based on the impression of the Anmon Waterfalls, cascading from the foot of the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains adjacent to the city of Hirosaki, where the family business is based. “But in fact, the first inspiration for Anmon came from Andy Warhol's paintings of John Lennon. I love both of them. John's glasses look like waves.” Mr Yoshizawa once said in an interview. Having a father like Mr Yoshizawa gives Tsuyoshi an enormous amount of inspiration and creative freedom, and he is too encouraged to have a broader perspective, one that’s far beyond the walls of the blade-smithing workshop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNigara Hamono created a unique Tsuchime pattern like the dragon scale, \u003cspan\u003eThe finish of the jigane is truly unique on this knife - while the tsuchime combining the kurouchi patterns have an almost matt nashiji-like texture, giving this knife a sophisticated accent. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eBeyond the unique, high-end finishing of the blades, we’re proud and honoured to collaborate with one of Japan’s top handle makers — a privilege granted to only a select few.
