There are some minor surface rust spots, which can be easily removed with a light sharpening. I discovered it at a specialty tool shop in the Kanto region. According to the current owner, this knife was custom-ordered directly from the blacksmith by his late father roughly 40-odd years ago. The blade is exquisitely crafted; judging by the precision and shape of the forged ferrule and the handle made of high-quality Japanese zelkova (keyaki), they were also very likely made by the blacksmith Yuzawa.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegarding the blacksmith: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYuzawa Hideo and his younger brother \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYuzawa Akio (the second-generation Masayoshi) are both prominent figures in the Tokyo blacksmithing community. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYuzaw Hideo a trained in his early years under \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKunii Kamekichi , a Tokyo plane-blade smith, before establishing his own forge in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. Shortly after, he relocated the workshop to Tochigi Prefecture, where he primarily forged high-grade plane blades and kitchen knives.

This greatly elevated the craftsmanship of Yuzawa, who was already an exceptionally studious and skilled smith.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49467658993902,"sku":null,"price":110000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF3664_b20498bc-81ed-41c5-a84f-88f222b1076e.jpg?v=1787358380","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/nata-japanese-custom-made-double-bevel-hatchet-knife-by-yuzawa-174mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
