About Naoto Kitaoka
Naoto Kitaoka inherited the kama (sickle) forging business that had been passed down in his family for generations. With his generation, he began to focus seriously on knife making. Kitaoka's knives are characterized by their "beautiful kurouchi (black finish)." Even among Tosa uchihamono (forged blades), he strives for a "clean kurouchi," utilizing the quality of the black surface while refining it beyond a rough finish to a polished appearance. With the desire to "be chosen not just for the name of the region, but as a craftsman," he continues to expand the possibilities of Tosa cutlery, researching new expressions and patterns.
