Born 1982 in Hiroshima, Shoichi Hashimoto is a relatively young blacksmith. He attended the University of Hiroshima and obtained a degree in art and modeling. HIs master Takanori Mikami, is a sword maker and together they have created many different art pieces that have garnered national and international attention.
It wasn’t until recently Hashimoto-san decided to dive into the world of culinary blades, and when he did he made sure he understood nuances that goes into making a successful chef knife.
Being the technical wizard he is, he studied distal taper and what makes a perfect grind. After working and collaborating with different knife sharpeners on past projects, he has also dove into the sharpening and polishing aspect of knife making. Just look at the choil shot on this post, a very nice convex edge, fitting for an heirloom kitchen tool such as this!

Kumokage Gyuto vs. Grape 🍇
Our shipping manager has been practicing his sharpening skills in anticipation of a busy summer. Last week he completed a thinning and sharpening on this Hatsukokoro Kumokage Gyuto.
I’d say he did pretty damn good, what do you guys think?
Spring is in the air and it is time to start thinking about how to spoil the mothers/mother figures in your life. Don’t worry, we can help! We put together this little gift guide to make things easier on you:
A Beautiful New Knife- This Nigara Hamono Kurouchi SG2 Tsuchime Santoku 180mm will be sure to impress. This all-purpose knife has a beautiful turquoise handle and cuts like a dream.
Professional Knife Sharpening- If a new knife isn’t in the budget, bring in her own knives for sharpening. She will be amazed at the difference!
Larchwood Cutting Board- This beautiful cutting board is a pleasure to cut on, will last a lifetime, and it’s end grain construction is gentle on knives. The small one hander is the perfect size for chopping smaller items such as fruit or would make a beautiful cheese board. This will definitely be a well received gift!
A Cook’s Edge Gift Card- And of course, you can never go wrong with a gift card! Let them choose something they love and you still look like a hero.

Geometry matters pt.2. A knife that has been sharpened too many times without thinning will crack a carrot apart. A knife with a proper distal taper will slice through cleanly.
How are your knives performing right now, do they need a thinning?
