About Kenji Togashi

Kenji Tongashi received his skilled traditional craftsman award in 1991, which recognizes the best Sakai masters. He is known for able to forge a varity types of steel. During my visit to Togashi-san's workshop, I saw many unique knives, one was a stack of half finished 540mm Maguro-kiri (tuna knife). That was impressive enough, but then I was shown a super long tuna knife: the blade was 160cm (5ft3) and the total length was about 2 meters (6ft7)! I was so impressed by his work, and asked if he would forge us some blue 1 honyaki blades according to my spec. (I always wanted to get one personally as a knifenut) and he gladly agreed. The result was just plain sensational, and I have since asked Togashi-san, with the help of Sakai Takayuki, to make a custom honkayi line for us.

Super cute but came damaged & really annoying to walk in
Size: 8, Color: Black Leather, Size: 8, Color: Black Leather
Super cute but mine came damaged and the straps don’t stay up great… I love Steve Madden shoes, and own a few pairs already, so I had high hopes for these heels. I ordered these for a wedding coming up and I hadn’t opened the package right away as I was out of town, when I got back I was so excited to try them on only to find that they came already scuffed on the toes and heels!! It looked like they had been worn multiple times already, so that was upsetting. In terms of fit, I ordered a size 8, and it fit true to size as far at the sole goes, as for the strap that goes from in between your toes and around your heel, it falls off after taking 3 steps and is honestly really annoying! The strap that goes across the top of your foot was also wayyy loose on my feet and didn’t help the other strap stay in place much making it super difficult to walk in them, every step felt like they were about to fly off my feet! Unfortunately, I will be returning them.

Blue kitten heels
Size: 9.5, Color: Blue Leather
These are very pretty shoes with a comfortable heel height. The first time I wore them, they started slipping in the back. The strap that goes around the heel is not adjustable and they ended up flopping as I walked. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly so I couldn’t go down a size. Oh well…. Too late to return them.

A very comfortable shoe
Size: 7, Color: Brown Leather
I bought this in a size 7, and it fits beautifully. I normally wear a size 37-38 (European) or a size 8 (US) shoe for walking or jogging. The 3" heels on these shoes are well balanced, making it very comfortable to walk in. The color is a rich dark brown which was just what I wanted. In summary, they fit me good and I'm very glad I bought them.
