We will be raffling off a special knife !
Hitohira Togashi White #1 Notaremon Mizu Honyaki Bunka 180mm Ziricote Handle ( #163/ Saya)
This knife came to fruition when Kevin visited Togashi Hamono in Sakai with Hokuto-san from Hitohira in October 2025.
During the visit, Togashi-san asked Kevin if there was a specific shape he would like to see forged as a Honyaki. After some thought, Kevin chose a Bunka, as he had never seen one forged before.
The result is this truly special knife.
A heartfelt thank you to Kenji, Kenya, and Hokuto for making this knife possible and bringing the idea to life.
