Born in 1983, Mr. Yoshihiro Yauji developed an interest in DIY since childhood and gradually fell in love with steel tools. He found a very special connection with knives because knives, in his own words, "represent the starting point of humanity." Starting in the Stone Age, humans began using knives to cut trees and eventually led to the development of civilization. In 2003, Yoshihiro became an apprentice of Master Hideo Kitaoka, considered one of Japan's finest craftsmen. After more than 15 years of training, Yoshihiro finally began making knives independently in 2019. It is worth noting that he forges, sharpens, finishes, and hones everything himself.
