The demand for his kitchen knives is very high and they are incredibly hard to get hold of. Luckily, we got to meet him on one of our trips years ago and have stocked his work since. His knives never struggle to take a keen edge. He has recently branched out and started his own forge, Tsuchinone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHAPE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/sujihiki\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSujihiki\u003c\/a\u003e.

This type of finish is made by creating a Kitaeji; which is produced by repeatedly folding\/stacking then compressing two different steels until they create a laminated pattern. This can then be manipulated in various ways to produce the maker’s desired pattern effect. This material is then clad around the core metal of the blade as an elaborate protective layer for the core steel, thus giving the knife a beautiful and striking appearance.
