We went to Bergendals Manor, which offered herring and potatoes, followed by rutabaga mash and pork. As we recall, the taste experience was somewhat divided among the gentlemen, but Yauji seemed to appreciate our Swedish classics. At that time, Yauji worked as a blacksmith for master Okada in Takefu. Since 2019, he has been forging knives independently, and his creations are truly impressive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe finish is really good and the grind is perfectly even.
