About Toru Tamura

Long ago, Toru Tamura-san, once worked at Knifewear and after his year in Canada, Toru-san returned to Japan and embarked on a remarkable journey. He secured an apprenticeship under the legendary Hiroshi Kato in Takefu Knife Village, learning the basics of knife making. Not content with This, he took up a second apprenticeship under Shimizu-san, mastering the art of making traditional single-bevel knives. This dual expertise makes Toru-san a rare talent, adept at forging both double-bevel and single-bevel blades. His journey has led him to become a master blacksmith, producing some truly exceptional knives.
