This creates distinctive, lightweight single-bevel blades (all right-handed). Craftsmen use this technique to craft both sickles and kitchen knives. Michio Ishikawa, the region's last Nakaniida blacksmith, maintains this tradition through a certified process combining hot forging with triple cold forging for enhanced hardness. Without an apprentice, this craft may disappear after Ishikawa's retirement.\u003c!-- notionvc: 2e21f63e-5d8c-4b32-a811-2244fdbe135d --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are made using traditional methods.
