Message from Craftsman

Because Tanaka's way of quenching, knife does not produce a Kurouchi dark finish enough. So in order to produce the finish, which is both aesthetically pleasing and useful in protecting against rust, sharpener uses a special and secret technique that has been used in Sakai for a long time and etches the surface of the knife.
This way of finishing creates the dark and beautiful Kurouchi finish found on this special line. While both types of Kurouchi finishes can fade over time, the etching technique used by sharpener may fade faster.
This is not signed that anything is wrong with the blade. so please do not worry if this happens, as it is natural.

From Smithey:

Make a statement and embrace cooking for a crowd with the stunning new 17" party pan from Smithey, their largest creation to date. Hand-forged by our skilled blacksmiths and destined to be a treasured family heirloom, this pan will have you thinking big. Perfect paella? Sure thing. Spatchcock a turkey? No problem. Fry up a dozen eggs and bacon at once? Why not?  Did we mention that it’s BIG? It also functions as a beautiful serving piece for those times that call for cooler appetizers or oysters on the half shell. You’ll have fun with this one – use it well!    

The party pan is designed to move and feed a crowd. Note that while it is compatible on all heat sources, this pan will be most at home over a big grill outdoors or supersized stovetop in the kitchen. 

From Smithey:

Inspired by American blacksmith design of the 18^th and 19^th century, the carbon steel farmhouse oval roaster is designed in collaboration with renowned Charleston artisan and blacksmith Robert Thomas. Hand-forged and limited in quantity, each oval roaster is visually unique while sharing fundamental design elements including hand hammered handles with a texture designed for easy gripping and a beautiful pre-seasoned interior finish. With performance that rivals cast iron at a lighter weight these roasters are both functional and beautiful workhorses for your kitchen. Perfect for roast chicken and vegetables, grilled fish, baked gratins and much more.
