Miyazaki Kajiya is a distinguished Japanese kitchen knife brand, renowned for its handcrafted blades by Haruki Miyazaki, a devoted and younger bladesmith based in Nagasaki Prefecture, specifically on the Goto Islands. Miyazaki-san meticulously crafts each knife alone in his small forge, emphasizing traditional methods. His process includes hand laminating the blades, utilizing pine charcoal for heat treatment, and employing water quenching techniques. His knives are celebrated for their craftsmanship and quality, featuring Aogami #2 steel often clad in stainless steel or iron. The knives are known for their unique aesthetic touches, such as the kurouchi finish and tsuchime (hammered) patterns
