Kisuke Manaka

Manaka Hamono, established in 1872, represents five generations of blacksmithing tradition. Kisuke Manaka, the current fifth-generation craftsman, is entirely self-taught, developing his skills through extensive study and hands-on experience.

Unlike many makers who use pre-laminated materials, he forge-welds his own steel, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency. His workshop maintains complete in-house production, refining each blade with precision and attention to detail.
