Products from Teiichiro Okubo

Master smith Teiichiro Okubo began learning the art of tool forging at just 14 years old. He follows in the legendary footsteps of his grandfather Teijiro Okubo, who has been honoured with the Japanese Prime Minister Gold Medal and the Presidential Prize for his life’s work. As one of the few smiths in Japan, Teiichiro is also a recognised Koshiki Tanren, or chisel smith, who makes his tools completely by hand.
