Certified by the Minister of International Trade and Industry as a Traditional Master Craftsman in 1985. His son, that is, current master, Tsukasa Ajioka started working with him in 1988.

(Standard Hongasumi-Finish):
Basically the blade already has enough sharpness without sharpening it, but for professional use, traditionally and generally, Japanese Chefs have adjusted its sharpness by themselves. Fine tuning by your own whetstone, its cutting edge can be adjusted to the maximum, depending on what you usually cut soft or hard materials.
