Before the handmade woodworking tools  by Japanese blacksmiths became popular around the world, many famous blacksmiths faced difficulties in selling their products.

Blacksmiths make kitchen knives that are easier to sell at the request of wholesalers. In addition, the chisel blacksmith in Tokyo Osahiro(長弘) had a similar experience.
