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.
Shindo knives are a great example of incredible performance at a very reasonable price. I have several knives by this maker and have not been disappointed by any. Sure, the fit and finish may not be perfect, but the geometry and performance is outstanding. The in-house handle placement by JKS was perfect. The communication was great and the shipping was quick. The parcel arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. Always a pleasure to deal with this shop.

Beautiful knife I love it.
This store has loads of beautiful Japanese knifes. The owner of the store is very knowledgeable.
I have taken one of the knife sharpening classes which they offer and it was great to learn how to do things properly.
If you are wanting to treat yourself or someone you love to a beautiful chefs knife this is the place to go.
