Description & specifications
Tetsujin Hamono is located in Kōchi prefecture on the island of Shikoku and is a collaboration between friends Toru Tamura (the blacksmith) and Naohito Myojin (the grinder).
Toru Tamura started an apprenticeship as a blacksmith under the recognized blacksmith Hiroshi Kato from Takefu knife village in 2010.
Naohito Myojin was born into a family of sharpeners under the Myojin-Riki brand. He started grinding himself at the age of 18. Over time, he has become widely recognized and is clearly one of the most sought-after sharpeners in Japan after he, among other things, started sharpening the Fujiyama series for Konosuke Sakai.
