This is a Mizuhonyaki Shirogami #1 Kiritsuke Yanagiba forged by master blacksmith Kenji Togashi. It features a full mirror polish with a Fujinami (Mt. Fuji) hamon, depicting a full moon on the hira and a crescent moon on the ura. This knife is sharpened by Nori Igarashi of Yamawaki Hamono.
Kenji Togashi started making knives in 1967 and is regarded as one of Sakai’s master blacksmiths. In 1996, he was officially recognized as a "Dentoukougeishi" (Traditional Craftsman) by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. In 2007, the city of Sakai awarded him the "Master of Traditional Crafts" certification for his excellent quenching technique and outstanding skills in making kitchen knives.
Other master craftsmen with this certification include Yoshikazu Tanaka, Yoshikazu Ikeda, Shigehiro Kasahara (sharpener), and Hirotsugo Tosa (sharpener), among others.
