When it comes to blacksmithing, he is undoubtedly the upper class of blacksmiths. Because it is done by hand, you will see a distinct difference in terms of product and quality. Kyuzo: Kyuzo's father, Heihachi, is one of the busiest sharpeners in Sakai. Heihachi's workshop room and hallway were always filled with knives waiting to be sharpened. Although Kyuzo initially worked under his father to learn the basics of rough sharpening, he eventually became a student of Kambei, known as one of the best sharpeners in Sakai because he knew best how to sharpen wide, double-beveled knives. After a few years of training, he developed his style based on these respective masters, his father and Kambei.
