PRAHRAN STORE NOW OPEN · THU–MON · 10AM–6PM

Is Yoshikazu Ikeda related to Ryoichi Ikeda?

Ryoichi Ikeda (池田良一) is Yoshikazu Ikeda's successor at the forge.

In official records the two appear separately: the national Traditional Craftsman roster records Ryoichi's own Sakai forged-cutlery certification in 2008, and Sakai's craftsperson roster pairs Yoshikazu with Ikeda Tanrenjo (池田鍛錬所) and Ryoichi with his own workshop, Ikeda Hamono Seisakusho (池田刃物製作所).
