Don't pull loose threads (use scissors to cut them if they are a nuisance).

Tenugui have their roots deep in Japanese history. Originally used as part of decorative fashion, tenugui later became part of daily life, being used around households and as general purpose cloths. Over time, the style, color, and even dying process has developed into what it is today. These pieces of cloth are hand dyed, using natural dyes. They should be washed in cold water with no detergent separately from other items. Over time, the color of these will fade a bit. This is something that Japanese people love about tenugui. These fun and artistic "pieces of dyed cotton cloth" can be used for anything from wiping off your hands or knife, to wrapping up your knives for storage. They even make good bandannas. *Wash in cold water separate from other items. Hang to air dry. Color will fade a bit over time. The edges are unfinished and will tend to unravel for about 3-5mm. Don't pull loose threads (use scissors to cut them if they are a nuisance).

The Tetsujin series is a collaboration between Myojin-san and Tomura-san. For some years now, Myojin-san has been one of the craftsmen involved with our Gesshin Kagekiyo knives.  Together with his workshop partner and longtime friend, they began the Tetsujin series.  These kiritsuke-shaped wa-gyuto are made from Blue #2 steel with soft iron cladding.  The tatsutogi grind/finish is a subtle convex grind from spine to edge, and tends to be thinner in the mid-section than his knives with shinogi lines and wide bevels.  The Tetsujin knives also feature a bit more blade height than many similar sakai-made wa-gyuto.  These guys have been making quite a name for themselves with high-performing and extremely well-made knives.  The handles are made from walnut and the knives come with magnolia sayas.

The Tetsujin series is a collaboration between Myojin-san and Tomura-san. Resting at the core of this blade is Blue #2 and it is wrapped in a brilliantly mirror-polished and kasumi damascus cladding. The finish on this knife is absolutely stunning and took our collective breath away when it arrived at the shop. This is a unique damascus that was hand forged in their workshop as a concept they were playing around with.  Jon was able to see this knife in-person when visiting their workshop in 2024.

The handle is made from Granadillo (Platymiscium spp.) and the knife comes with a magnolia saya.

Granadillo, also known as Mexican Rosewood, is a feast for the eyes, with vibrant reds and oranges beautifully woven together with deep brown and black veins. Some woods are prized for their rich color, while others for their striking patterns. This one has the best of both worlds.
