Thank you Kosuke.
The new Sanjo line looks very nice.
May I ask what is the hagane steel? You mention it is semi stainless.

As Jeff B mentioned, we don't announce the detail of the steel.

Thank you for understanding!

Yes.
The blacksmith just says "Vintage Swedish carbon steel" but we think it can be Togo Reigo.

Hi BoostedGT

I'm afraid I can't understand what "wide bevel version" means perfectly, but the shape from the blacksmith is same as the previous style (normal finish).
Only the sharpening style is different.



Hi ButlerHoosierChef

Thank you for the message :)

He is asking if the knife will have a shinogi line.

Oh thank you!

As this, it doesn't have a shinogi line.

Let me tell you about the Vintage Swedish Carbon knives.


=====================================================================================================
We have to tell you that we'll provide them only from Tosho knife arts from the second batch.

From CKTG, we'll think about the new material (should be Blue Super or something like that) with the special finish.
=====================================================================================================


About 5 - 6 years ago when we release the first Vintage Swedish Carbon knives from Tosho knife arts, we've talked about the exclusiveness from them.

As time goes by and with the special finish by the Fujiyama sharpener, I was confused about that and released the first batch from both Tosho and CKTG by mistake.

Now I remember and I think we should proceed the exclusiveness again.
(I've already talked with Mark about this)


I'm so sorry about the problem..

I'm happy if you can understand.
