Hand-forged and hand-ground with traditional sen and stones in Sanjo, Niigata by the Iizuka family under their Shigefusa brand. Shigefusa knives are hand forged with Swedish 26C3 carbon steel (aka spicy white), a very pure high carbon steel that in the hands of the skilled Iizuka smiths makes for an incredibly fine grained steel. It is capable of taking an amazingly fine edge while still retaining a lively, bitey feel. The cladding is a handmade free forged "kitaeji" suminagashi made with iron and mild steel.

Because these are all made by hand without mechanical grinding the output is very limited and very in demand, we receive Shigefusa knives in small batches years after ordering and as such we are unable to take preorders or take special orders.
