Tsukasa Hinoura, a third-generation blacksmith from Sanjo, Niigata, is renowned worldwide for his exceptional craftsmanship and advancements in metallurgy. His creations are truly functional works of art. 

His unique damascus showcases a mesmerizing "river jump" pattern that flows continuously around the blade. 

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
