He is one of the main masters of Takefu Knife Village, which unites the best artisans of the region.
Hideo Kitaoka is best known for his knives with traditional Japanese single-edged sharpening (kataba), in particular deba, unakita and yanagiba, created in the spirit of classic kaiseki knives. The master prefers to use Shirogami carbon steel (White #2 and #1).
Each knife from Hideo Kitaoka is not just a tool, but a piece of art and a continuation of a tradition passed down in his family from generation to generation. Master Kitaoka is the founder and vice-chairman of the Takefu Knife Village blacksmith association.
