About Kyohei Shindo -
Blades like Shindo-san’s are the reason I fell in love with Japanese knives. The rustic design and ancient craftsmanship really drew me in, and chances are, it’s why you chose to get a Japanese knife too.
He works with high-carbon steel such as Aogami, a material prized for its incredible ability to hold an edge. Don’t let their rough exteriors fool you; these knives take a blindingly sharp edge and feel fantastic in the hand. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the world of carbon steel or you’re a knife nerd like me, you’re going to love the way these knives cut.
Shindo-san was born in Hokkaido, the northernmost prefecture of Japan, in 1988. While attending university in Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture, he started his obsession with blacksmithing. The style of forging he had been fascinated with was unique to Tosa, so he chose to move to that area of Japan to begin his blacksmithing career. Seven years later, in 2019, he finally started his own workshop: Kyohei Tanzo.
