    Tsukasa Suzuki

    Suzuki-san is a talented blacksmith from Yamagata prefecture. He started his blacksmithing journey at 18 and has been hard at work perfecting his craft for 40 years now! He uses techniques and knowledge learned directly from his father, and together they add important threads to the rich blacksmithing tapestry of Yamagata. Tsukasa Suzuki is known primarily for his hand-forged sickles, but he also makes some incredible kitchen knives. They're unlike anything we've ever seen before! These single-bevel versions of standard knife shapes take some getting used to, but they allow food to fall away from the blade effortlessly. They feature a gorgeous kurouchi finish and a nice toothy edge.
