Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Maestro.

Extremely limited edition Yatagarasu MCUSTA folding knife of the Shinwa series, with Mokume blade and produced in only 100 pieces.

Yatagarasu, in Japanese culture, is a three-legged crow symbol of driving owned by the Sun goddess Amaterasu. Yatagarasu appears in ancient Japanese documents, such as Kojiki (古 事 記), in which it is also said that he fought and killed a beast intending to devour the Sun, and that he is also the protector of the emperor Jimmu.
On many occasions, in Japanese art this creature is represented with three legs, although in Kojiki it is never said that the Yatagarasu has more than two. Today, the three-legged version of the Yatagarasu is used as a symbol of the football federation of Japan.

This knife blade is convex on both sides in the tradition of the highly praised Japanese sword. This shape is both sharp and strong, and can still slice cleanly through a sheet of paper even after the punishment of chopping and cutting through dried bamboo. Using this special blade shape is an excellent way of allowing an edge to be thick without sacrificing any of its sharpness. This knife is of preeminent sharpness. This is a durable knife with strong cutting capabilities that will last for a long time. Even when used for rigorous cutting, the blade will not bite or catch thanks to its convex shape. Other knives will often bite or catch, and may acquire nicks if pulled out suddenly.
