Samidorizuki (早緑月) translates loosely to “early green moon” - the first moon of spring - an image that perfectly captures the feeling of this knife.

Each individual hammer strike is shaped like a small leaf, creating a blade surface that looks like a forest floor scattered with fresh spring growth. It’s quietly poetic and unmistakably Makoto: his knives often feel less like tools and more like sculptural objects, balancing beauty and function in equal measure. This is a knife you’ll admire as much as you’ll use.

At its core is SPG STRIX powdered stainless steel, hardened to around 65 HRC. This elite steel delivers exceptional edge retention, yet remains far easier to sharpen. It takes a keen edge quickly and holds it for a long time, making it especially appealing for busy professional kitchens as well as serious home cooks who value performance without hassle.

Samidorizuki is a knife that feels alive in the hand - technically impressive, yet deeply artistic. A true expression of spring, steel, and craftsmanship coming together in one remarkable blade.
