translate that romaji into hiragana: ひろ いとう

Search that.


I dont feel like translating/reading so good luck!
 
dingy;

I checked and find the family name "Itou" but his name is Yusui Itou(伊藤裕翠).
He makes his original blade like damascus.

Also, there is a name "HIRO KNIVES", but it is a factory name.

Would you have any photographs of "Hiro Itou" knife which you can up here...?

japanese custom knives....he uses R2 steel. traditional style, if you like that. I'd bet the knives are scary sharp.
 
I checked the logo in the website where sells Mr. Itou knives, and it is the same as Yusui(or Yuusui) Itou.
(I could see Yusui(裕翠) letters.)
It seems that he was introduced as Hiroo Itou in U.S.A..

He uses damascus steel of R2 powder steel.
