I’m in Japan now for the first time in my life and I’ll be here for another 3 weeks the craftsmanship and attention to detail that they put into every thing they make is insane. Even their food. They just know nothing else besides quality. It is a way of life to them.
I have so much respect for all the blackmiths, but it amazes me how these 60s and 70s year old are still doing it, creating pieces of art, even though it's such a hard work.
I've got a Masutani Hamono Nakiri that I adore, I bought it specifically because I love their dedication to making great affordable knives. Very cool video.
Thank you so much for your videos I feel so informed and a lil closer to makers of these beautiful knives. You guys have such a great customer service, can’t wait for my next purchase 🤝
This was nice to see as I have fond a knife from Masutani I would like. But how does stamped blades work? Well, I get that there are other blacksmiths that makes the blade themself, but are they made after his specification and then he and his family finishes the blade and handle? (kinda like how say Apple dont make anything themself, but by their specification/blueprint?)
Nice video. Thank you for taking us. My wife is Japanese, so if you had shown the knives Kanjis she could have read it and tell you the meaning of the characters
Are any of these shops available for someone like myself to schedule a visit and tour or is that an exclusive perk for folks who own knife shops and are purveyors of their products? It seems super cool, would love to see it for myself.
Most of the smiths we visited had gift shops open to the public and everyone was incredibly friendly! If you spoke Japanese you might hav a good chance of getting shown around!

I hate to generalize...but they really are just the best at everything haha!
Craftsmanship, and honor. That is the Japanese way of life. We should all look up to them honestly

Hard to say but he is at least in his 70th. Maybe 80ths.. amazing that he still does such work
This series is really cool. Really impressive seeing the craftsmanship.

What a honor it must be to visit those craftsmen !
I just bought my first Masutani Nakiri, And proceeded to run into this video. So dope to see this.

Very efficient, beautiful and affordable.

Thank YOU for watching, because we had a blast filming these!
THAT BOSS COFFEE jacket is sick! I want one
You HAVE to use your knives. I think not using them insults the blades and ages them faster.
Love these shop tour videos!
We've got more coming!
What a trip that must have been.
We already can't wait to go back!

Brilliant
Great video! Are you satisfied from the knife? What’s the performance of VG1 steel?
ahhh i've been eyeing on the masutani gyuto 180 but the shop ran out!! great video! love it :D
i bought mastuani santoku as a gift for someone .
I have a Masutani vg 10 santoku, better than a lot of more expensive knives from Sakai
Hard to beat them ESPECIALLY at the price!

Ill pop them into the overarching trip video Im working on!
This grinding wheels look back breaking why don’t they stand closer design them differently
Why they don't make Gyuto 210 mm length?
