Kisuke Manaka is an independent Japanese bladesmith whose work reflects a deep connection to traditional Japanese swordsmithing and knife-making craftsmanship. With a highly hands-on approach, Manaka-san forges and finishes his knives with a strong emphasis on steel quality, heat treatment and cutting performance.
At JKS, each Manaka blade receives our own final finishing process in-house. We further refine the cutting edge using NSK Kogyo diamond stones, followed by a carefully executed Kasumi finish using Japanese Uchigumori natural stones. This additional refinement enhances the blade’s cutting performance while bringing out the depth, character and premium appearance of the steel.
