He is a very humble person, paitently explained a lot of the techniques in detail. It was a dream came true for a knifenut like me to see a master bladesmith in person. He demonstrated to us the complete process of forging a blade from a billet of steel. I still remember that day the ambient temperature was 36 degrees celsius (97 F). Even just by standing there, we were sweating like having a shower. It was then I realized that in order to become a true bladesmith, one need not only skills but a real passion of knife making. More importantly, I realized that this is the real difference between a handforged knife and a machine stamped knife. Seeing Doi-san fogring his masterpieces in such condition was the inspriation of the name our custom line: Syousin 匠心, meaning the heart and soul of a craftsman. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 1px solid #e3e3df;

It is commonly agreed that forging process doesn't do much good to the powdered steel, but master Hanaki decided to give the SG2 honyaki a forging touch. I was a little bit skeptical at the beginning but such doubt was totally dismissed when I saw the hardness test result at Sukenari's Toyama factory: the hardness has reached to a staggering HRC65, and the micro-structure of the SG2 steel is now totally different to the unforged SG2 steel. I offered the SG2 Honyaki blade to a few of my Japanese chef clients, and the result has been extremely positive. The edge retention is second to none, and the Kireaji (cutting feel, ??????) is amongest the best in stainless steel. I am very confidient of the SG2 honyaki line, but according to master Hanaki this is probably the only batch that he is going to make (at least in the foreseeable future), so of course, I ordered all of them :)","brand":"Sukenari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44201116172509,"sku":"SK-SG2HON-KYA300","price":2499.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/SukenariSG2HonyakiK-tipYanagiba300mmB_b878af24-b8d4-4cdc-a44f-9e76f8459a83.jpg?v=1698191364"},{"product_id":"nakagawa-ginsan-kasumi-kiritsuke-shaped-k-tip-yanagiba-270-mm","title":"Satoshi Nakagawa Ginsan Kasumi Kiritsuke Shaped (K-tip) Yanagiba 270 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Satoshi Nakagawa 270mm Kiritsuke Yanagiba is a single bevel sashimi knife forged from Ginsan stainless steel, best fit for professional chefs and students requiring precise raw fish preparation.
