The Gesshin Hide knives we carry have some of the most perfect grinding I have ever seen with hand made kitchen knives. This project started when Sara and I went to visit the makers of Gesshin Hide. In thier shop I saw some really cool honyaki wa-gyutos sitting around. The ones I saw were unfinished, but they prompted me to ask about about doing a custom project to make some similar ones. After some discussion we picked Shiraki-san to forge these blades. He is well know as one of the top blacksmiths in Sakai, and is particularly talented when it comes to Blue #1 steel.

class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the skilled craftsmen, Yamamoto Hideaki and Yamamoto Shinichiro, we are proud to introduce Gesshin Hide.  These knives represent the best of Sakai Uchihamono.  From the first time I sharpened one of these knives in 2010, I knew how amazing they were.  With a combination of great steel and amazing grinding, shaping, and sharpening work, these knives are easily among the best single bevel knives I have used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife began as a fun project for the Gesshin Hide craftsmen.  Designed after an antique vegetable and meat knife, this knife has a unique profile and geometry that I have not seen in any other knives.  I believe it will work really well for working with meats due to the shape of the tip area.  Anyways, we thought it was an interesting piece and decided to add it to the website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope you enjoy the Gesshin Hide line, as we are extremely proud to be carrying
