Collection: Kisuke Manaka

Kisuke Manaka is a young 5th generation blacksmith from Saitama Prefecture. He actually wanted to join his father-in-law's business, but was not enthusiastic about his business methods. For this reason, Kisuke-san decided to set up his own workshop from scratch over 10 years ago. He taught himself the craft mostly by himself and never had a real mentor as is usually the case.

He has now mastered all forging techniques and more. He even masters forge welding of stainless steel, which is no easy task.
