Kyohei Shindo, a skilled blacksmith from Tosa, is quickly building a loyal following for his ultra-thin knife designs. His blades feature a refined thin grind and a polished Kurouchi finish, reminiscent of Takeda’s work, combined with a Mazaki-like precision tip.

Shindo-san carefully forges his own stock, using a blend of Hitachi Blue #2 steel and iron. He employs the traditional warikomi technique to craft iron-clad carbon steel knives—a time-honored method that few blacksmiths still practice, known for producing exceptional blades.

Two defining features set Kyohei Shindo’s knives apart. First, his expertly hammered "S" grind on nakiri knives minimizes food sticking. Second, his exceptionally thin grind allows the blade to glide effortlessly through ingredients, making cutting feel almost effortless.

Beautifully simplistic

So comfortable and easy to control. The edge is incredibly sharp. Such an investment and knife studio were so easy to deal with.

Good Quality and Price

I really like this knife, at first I was worried with how I would handle the weight since it’s very light but after a few uses I realised it came down to how much control I had over my knife and after realising that this knife has become my favourite knife I’ve used so far. Small and precise jobs really show how well this knife can excel in. The design and make of the knife is very appealing and I feel the price range is excellent with the quality you get. Definitely recommend this knife to anyone who is looking to increase their skills with precise cuts and slices.
