Takeshi Saji started at a young age by watching his father forge. This triggered a passion and urged him to get started in the blacksmithing world. So at 16 years old Saji-San started his blacksmithing career and never looked back. He makes some of the most amazing knives we have seen.

Saji-San is one of the founding members of the Takefu knife Village in Echizen, Japan, and he worked with blacksmiths like Yoshimi Kato and Anryu-San.
