From March 4th (Fri) to April 6th (Wed), the "8th Anniversary of izutuki Banshu Knife Fair" is being held at the attached gallery izutuki, Nihonbashi Kiya Main Store, a long-established knife shop.

You can see Banshu knives here at izutuki, which is introduced by the design company "Celacans Shokudo".

 

This time, I also took care of Mr. Abe, Kiya Nihonbashi Main Store Co., Ltd.

At the same time, Mr. Oba, who is in charge of izutuki, also guided us.

 

Mr. Ciracans, LLC.

Since receiving a design request from the Ono Hardware Wholesale and Commercial Cooperative since 2013, Celacanth Shokudo has proposed a regional brand called "Banshu Knife" to solve the problem of successors to craftsmen, and also served as Blanding. We have been working on the development of overseas sales channels and the creation of a system for fostering successors.

"Banshu" is around the former Harima country, now Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, and Miki City.

Since 2018, the company has also raised knives, where the Mount Fuji Knife was born.

Please take a look at some of the techniques that are full of functional beauty.

 

And "Cerakans Cafeteria" is a design company.

Celacans = Ancient Greek "the hollow spinal cord". I usually think of that "ancient deep sea fish"

This is a design that can be active in deep seas and sea surfaces.

The design actually has meaning. = Seeing and expressing the essence

It is said that the origin of the idea is to get interested by dare to add a "shokudo" to the ceracanth that you do not eat, and to use it as an opportunity to convey the design ...

 

・・Let's introduce some of the products.

Since the quantity is limited, please forgive us when it is out of stock.

In addition, all prices are tax-included.

Mount Fuji Knife designed by the design company Ciracans Shokudo.

The knife handle that shows a beautiful figure of Fuji has a plug-in.

It is a knife that you want to add such a daily life, such as cutting bread and cheese outdoors and opening the drink plug.

 

What is MUJUN?

Celacanth Shokudo is a design thinking company launched in March 2011 by designer Shinya Kobayashi.

Design is used as a means of solving vision problems to find and improve fundamental problems.

In 2016, we launched our own brand "MUJUN" and in August 2018, we launched our workshop "MUJUN WORKSHOP" to train knife craftsmen in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Above all, "Mount Fuji Knife" is the first in-house manufactured product.

The craftsmen of WORKSHOP produce it with great care baskets.

From manufacturing to maintenance, I work every day so that it can be taken root in the true sense.

Color is acrylic baked.

It is rarely peeled off, prevents rust and makes the smell of iron harder to reach.

"Handwork" is handled by a single craftsman, so there seems to be a difference in the ease of use when used for a long time.

After the forging of the base gold and blade gold is made at the scissors material manufacturing factory, the craftsman finishes it as "riki".

In addition, it is said that the ground gold and blade gold are forged are called "ricket material".

It seems that the advantage of "Katamaru" is that it is difficult to get caught on the fabric.
