Masaki-san, a blacksmith from Sanjo, is relatively young, he hails from the island of Hokkaido. A young man with no definite direction in life, he set off on his motorcycle across Japan. When he stayed in Sanjo, he was fascinated by the local blacksmithing and knife business. After about five years of apprenticeship with Yoshikane, he decided that he would prefer a more traditional, practical approach to creating knives.
Masaki-san prefers to use the more traditional Shirogami #2 to make his knives, and he often finishes many of his blades, giving them a rustic look. Shirogami has incredible cutting edge durability and sharpness.
