Shunsuke Manaka, or Kisuke Manaka as he's named himself as a blacksmith, is certainly the most driven and educated blacksmith in Japan. He's extremely devoted to making new products, trying new techniques, and finding out exactly what the best course of action is to make an insanely cool knife. Seriously, his work is bonkers, he makes some of the most intense and functional knives we've ever seen! This is his story!
