Fukube Kaji is a blacksmith from Noto in Ishikawa Prefecture that was started back in 1908 by first generation Mr. Yusaku Hoshiba.

He started as a toolmaker who drove around Noto in a horse-drawn carriage to repair and make tools. In 1959 it became a forge that made tools under its own brand and it is now the 4th generation Mr. Kentaro Hoshiba who is in charge of the forge, which focuses on traditional Japanese knives.

This series from them is hand-forged in shirogami 2 (white steel), surrounded by soft iron.

The knives are finished with a rustic kurouchi finish, and a damask cladding further towards the edge. The handle is a D-shaped (shinogi) type handle for the right hand, made of sandalwood with a dark pakka wood ferrule.

A Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese knife used for carving fish, AKA "sashimi knife"
