Blacksmith Jiro
Jiro-san is a blacksmith and knife maker from the Nagano region. He makes these knives from A to Z alone, meaning that every part of the knife was handcrafted by Jiro-san from start to finish. For those who don't realize the magnitude of his work, the quantity of blades that can be produced by a good quality Japanese industrial manufacturer can reach 10,000 per year. As for Jiro, he has a maximum capacity of about twenty knives per month! This is why the number of knives on the market is limited.
He's been a blacksmith for 20 years, but no one has noticed how incredible his work is. When he was discovered by Hokuto Aizawa (Hitohira's president), it was surprising that no one had found him yet.
Each knife comes with handwritten paper noting the serial number, profile, steel type, handle type, size, and date of manufacture.
