Shiraki

Murray Carter took me to a tiny corner of Seki city Japan and helped me buy knives made by Kenichi Shiraki.  He is known throughout Japan by their many bladesmiths and is generally regarded as the greatest living bladesmith.

His knives are beautiful, but built for use.  They are employed by some of the finest sushi chefs in the world.  If you are looking for traditional Japanese cutlery, these are a must have.
