Naoki Mazaki Knives
Naoki Mazaki
A quiet pleasant "renegade" young maker trained by Yoshikane and currently undergoing further training with Kiyoshi Kato~san of Sanjo after touring whole of Japan on his restored late 70s Harley.
He forges White 2 steel to near the limit of 64/65 HRC, used to be only seen on Honyaki knives only for great edge retention and his distal taper is aggressive starting from 5.4mm to very thin at the tip giving a laserish performance at the front end of knife and workhorse performance at the back of knife.
At the moment he forges, shapes/grind, sharpen and does the kanji engraving himself and we like that as all is within his control.

White 2 with nice Kurochi finish
We chose the White 2 for best possible sharpness and Kurouchi for less reactivity on the iron for the cladding and a high HRC for a long edge retention. The knives are nicely finished with rounded spine and choil and finished on a #3000 Natural Stone. Our standard free sharpening within the first month applies to this range also.
