CRAFTING HASEGAWA BLADES

Discover the exceptional artistry of Hasegawa, where each knife is a product of passion and dedication. Known for his hands-on approach, Hasegawa handcrafts each piece to deliver unparalleled performance and beauty. In addition to forging the blade, Hasegawa personally handmakes the handles, sharpens each edge to perfection, and engraves unique details, ensuring every knife is a true masterpiece.

The collection includes various knife types, such as Deba, Bunka, Santoku, Yanagiba, and Kiritsuke Gyuto, each designed for specific culinary tasks. The blades often feature finishes like Kasumi and Damascus, showcasing traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Handles are crafted from materials like walnut, buffalo ebony, and sumi urushi, offering both aesthetic appeal and comfortable grip.

The Hasegawa collection at MUSASHI HAMONO features knives crafted from high-quality Blue Steel #2 (Aogami #2). This steel is renowned for its exceptional edge retention and ability to achieve a razor-sharp edge. Typically, Blue Steel #2 is hardened to a Rockwell hardness (HRC) of approximately 62-63, providing a balance between hardness and toughness.

FUJIWARA KNIFES

After falling in love with hand engraving, Asamura Takao faced a choice between jewelry-making and dedicating his life to mastering the traditional art of sword engraving. In 1969, at age 20, he chose the latter and has honed his craft ever since.

Asamura emphasizes that mastering the chisel requires experience, granting the freedom to create blades of exceptional beauty. This freedom, however, is elusive, as traditional Japanese techniques are fading, with fewer opportunities to learn them.

DAMASCUS BLADES

Inspired by his predecessors, Asamura continually challenges himself to learn and innovate, despite frustrations that hinder smooth progress. For him, designing a knife is a process of trial and error, with the final result only revealed through practice.

A key influence on his engraving is the Japanese art of HAIGA, which combines a short poem with a single image. He believes this philosophy perfectly complements his work, particularly in engraving 24-carat gold.
