Miyazaki Kajiya from the Goto Islands in Japan.
He is a small-scale, independent blacksmith forging traditional Japanese kitchen knives using carbon steels such as Blue #1 and White steel, often clad in hand-forged watetsu (Japanese iron). His knives are made in limited numbers using hon-warikomi construction and reflect a balance of tradition, texture and restraint.
Production is low, distribution is limited, and each blade carries the character of true hand forging rather than factory unifor
