Myojin Riki Sesakusho - Myojin is an incredibly talented sharpener, and has over 10 years of experience in the knife industry. During that time, he has also trained as a Blacksmith, which he feels helps him understand sharpening even more.

Since he began working with us in late 2016, everyone at Konosuke has been very impressed with his talent as a sharpener, his constant personal drive to get better, and his incredible productivity and throughput.

Upon seeing his final iteration of the ‘FM Fujiyama’, even Morihiro himself was impressed, saying Myojin was ready to take up the mantle.

During his time at Konosuke, Myojin has been the sharpener on our MM series, the FM Fujiyama, as well as our newly released ‘Tetsujin’ line, which is made in conjunction with his longtime friend and blacksmith Tetsu.

We are also very happy to be able to unveil the newest feature of all knives sharpened by Myojin- his own stamp.

From this point on, all knives Myojin sharpens for Konosuke will have this ‘kokuin’, to help our faithful fans from around the world better identify Myojin’s excellent work.

We hope you will give us your honest impressions!
