SAS Posted November 12, 2017 Report Posted November 12, 2017 One of the latest Forged In Fire winners was Neil Kamimura; his grandfather had a blacksmith shop in Hilo, Hawaii from 1930 onwards. He was a swordsmith in Japan before immigrating, according to my mentor, who knows Neil. Does anyone have any information on him and perhaps photos of his mei/work? Quote

SAS Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks, primarily interested in finding out more on the grandfather, Teiji Kamimura. Quote
SAS Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Posted November 19, 2017 http://www.discovernikkei.org/en/journal/2011/02/14/issei-pioneers/ Sounds like a swordsmith, didn't want to reveal his heat treatment secrets! Quote
