Kiyotada, regarded as one of the best Japanese blacksmiths and tool makers. His tools are highly sought after and as no longer produced scarce and amongst the most difficult to find. This is from my own collection. The tools made by Kiyotada are believed to have some of the most resilient and keen edge of any tool ever produced. Sadly letting this one go to fund a new project for the shop together with my son.
