Explain |
It the Gyutou(butcher knife) 240mm which Kitae Matsumoto forged, and this work is very rare. For Matsumoto fan, it is object of envy. He said many times; when 「I do not hit the Hotyou because I am NataKaji(Specialized thick Blade)」 However, nevertheless hit the one. Probably he gave in and would make up. In what I wish for another one possibly… Even if make whichever, this is a beginning for the moment; nothing last. Polished it, and a knife polisher of 藤(Tou) was in charge of the finish. It is, so to speak, a collaboration work of Kitae-Matusmoto and 藤(Tou). How about a master of such forging, the Houtyo of kitae-Matusmoto |
