Konosuke Fujiyama

Konosuke is one of the most exciting Japanese knife companies to watch out for their appetite to do things differently from the norm. The company is well regarded for its incredible attention to detail and performance when it comes to its products. If you are a lover of beautifully-made functional tools that have a unique design philosophy, join the fandom (and the waitlist..). We at Tosho are extremely proud to be their partners, and look forward to the next shipment!

Yoshikazu Tanaka-san is a blacksmith from Sakai renown for his mastery of carbon steel knife forging. In particular, he is known for his Blue #1 steel, which has the high hardness point without the accompanying difficulty in sharpening, according to professional sharpeners working with his blades in Sakai. Despite Tanaka-san’s advanced age and propensity to work with iron cladded knives, he still challenges himself by experimenting with new materials.

Myojin Naohito, being 31 at the time of writing, already has over a decade of sharpening experience. After an apprenticeship under Morihiro-san, the original sharpener for the Fujiyama line, Myojin was selected to take on the mantle as the next sharpener for the iconic series. Such an accomplishment at a young age is a testament to his skill, and we at Tosho are excited to see what else Myojin will bring to the table as his career matures. The precision and refinement of his finishes on both hamaguri and wide bevel (kireha) surfaces offer supreme smoothness when cutting, on top of an aesthetically stunning finish.
