My name is Kazutaka Kalanimoku O Ka Maluhia Iinuma-Nakaaki and I am born and raised on the beautiful island of Maui in Hawaii. I've always loved to make things, but of course just like any little boy, I loved swords and knives. It started with a Project in eighth grade then was a pile of bricks and charcoal in the back yard, and now is whole workshop dedicated to my craft. I love the feeling of having a completed knife that I poured my heart and soul into in my hands, but there is no greater joy than to see the smile on someones face when I hand them a knife I made. We all have our dreams, and I am living mine. Through my knives, I hope that you can also be a part of my dream.
