Naoki Mazaki is a blacksmith located in Sanjo, Niigata. He works alone in his small workshop and handles all aspects of his knife making. This blade is forged with a core steel of Aogami #2 steel and cladded in a handmade suminagashi iron damascus.
The bevels are finished by hand on japanese whetstones to ensure an even grind and geometry. The forged distal taper is quite impressive and has a nice progressive thinness towards the tip. Lightly convexed bevels and very thin behind the cutting edge. 

This item is lightly used and in great condition. This blade was manufactured in 2018/2019 and have quite a bit different profile than Mazaki's current knives. The blade has been polished and finished with natural stone powders and has a reflective but lightly cloudy kasumi. This knife has only been sharpened once on stones. The handle was custom made by Graydon Decollibus from stabilized Hawaiian Koa and blackwood ferrule.
