"Shuji Toyama" Gyuto 270mm V-toku#2 Rainbow Damascus Ser.No.3
“Tankin Keiryu”
Meaning: Forged metal flowing into a landscape.
This work is a limited edition of only five handmade pieces, crafted from a special laminated steel composed of brass, copper, mild stainless steel, and V Special No. 2 steel. Each blade is forged, heat-treated, and hand-sharpened by Sanjo blacksmith Shuji Toyama.
Toyama, a veteran craftsman with nearly 70 years of experience, has spent his life overcoming the shifting eras and turbulent challenges faced by Japanese blacksmiths. Through an unwavering conviction, he has continued to stand before fire and iron, forging blades with a spirit that has never once faltered.
The patterns created by his hands evoke layered geological formations, drifting seas of clouds, and flowing rivers—natural landscapes expressed through metal. These visual textures are not merely decorative; they symbolize the skills, philosophy, and life journey that Toyama has cultivated throughout decades of dedication to his craft.
Each of the five pieces possesses its own vibrant tones and unique landscape-like patterns, captivating anyone who holds one. These artworks, produced in an extremely limited quantity, will be available only to five fortunate collectors.
