Fukube Kaji Østerskniv

Fukube Kaji - ふくべ鍛冶 is a forge from Noto in Ishikawa Prefecture that was established back in 1908 by the first generation Mr. Yusaku Hoshiba. He started as a toolmaker who traveled around in a horse-drawn carriage in Noto to repair and make tools. In 1959, it became a forge that produced tools under its own brand, and now it is 4th Generation Mr. Kentaro Hoshiba who runs the forge, which focuses on traditional Japanese knives.
