Knife

The handcrafted Japanese knives – from the

forges of Masakage, Fujiwara, Mcusta and Zanmai – on offer here are artisanal labours of love. Blacksmiths forge, hammer, temper and fold layers of high-carbon steel into razor-sharp blades. The detailing is painstakingly intricate, from the carved wood handles to the sharp ends; Takamura’s Uchigumo model is acidwashed to reveal labyrinthine patterns on the blade. 249 CRAWFORD ST 647 996 8609 KNIFETORONTO.COM
