Kiku Matsuda is one of the paragons of contemporary Japanese
custom knife making. These are some of the most impressive, and
functional tactical bladeware being made today. His knives
display a meticulous artistry and craftsmanship adding a
superlative degree of soul and finesse to not only the tactical knife
arena, but the general purpose and utility as well.
Kiku Matsuda creates his edged tools from a long
history and tradition rooted in 5 generations of sword making and blade
grinding. 400 hundred years ago, his Samurai ancestors fought with distinction in
the decisive battle of Sekigahara and this discipline and ethos is
clearly evident with his own work today. Kiku's spirit has
already been a presence in this country for many decades.
Without fanfare or self edification, he
has for years quietly ground many of the blades on the best
premium American production knives from such brands as William Henry
Knives.
Hold any of Kiku's knives and you will witness and feel some of
the best custom tactical, and practical cutlery the world has to offer. |
