Yoshihiro Yauji

After spending many years working under master blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka, Yauji-san's skills are refined and his blades have beautiful fit and finish. His work with Aogami #2 steel is top of the class which shows in the ease of sharpening and ductility of these knives. His damascus cladding is very striking, and coupled with a western Ironwood handle, these knives will leave you drooling.
