Tetsujin Hamono is a smithy located in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. Tetsujin is a collaboration between blacksmith Tooru Tamura and sharpener Tateo Myojin. Together, they produce premium knives from Aogami#2 carbon steel. The forging is extremely fine-grained in the classic Sakai tradition.
The knife has a pleasant weight and fits perfectly in the hand. The edge itself is very thin, and the knife cuts fantastically well.
