After graduating from university, he became a physical education teacher. However, his true passion was knifemaking, and he often considered leaving his teaching career to fully devote himself to his craft. Each time, those around him persuaded him to continue as a teacher, and he remained in the profession until retirement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"801\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he retired, he declared: \"Now I can make knives as I wish,\" and he kept that promise. He dedicated the rest of his life to freely creating knives, exactly as he desired. Many people make knives to earn money, but he only made the knives he wanted to make, without concern for business or profit. Perhaps that is why so many of his works were so distinctive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yusui-Ito","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775377809756,"sku":"IT-HUNT-250613-13","price":615.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/itou-hunt-5.jpg?v=1780314496","url":"https:\/\/stage.cleancut.eu\/products\/yusui-itou-hunting-knife-110mm-ironwood-handle","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
