According to the description in this video, Mr. Minomo is the tenth generation in his family's knifemaking business, which was founded in 1796. Some interesting details from a production knifemaker, including some modern tooling that clearly makes his life a lot easier.

His forge burner (shown being lit at the 0:34 mark) is intriguing. Maybe oil and compressed air?
