How I'd Rebrand a 200-Year-Old Japanese Knife Maker

概要
I took a real knife-making company in Sakai, Japan — a city where blades have been forged for over 600 years — and built a hypothetical rebrand from scratch. No client. No brief. Just the system, end to end.
In this episode, I walk through the full process: positioning (and the "only" statement that forces you to find what's actually unique), naming (including the cross-language audit that killed two candidates), identity (why the brand competes with Aesop and Le Labo, not other knife sellers), and storytelling (leading with why, not what).
The key insight: in Sakai, a single knife passes through three independent masters — a forger, a sharpener, and a handle maker. Each one stakes their name on the blade. That's not a marketing angle. That's the positioning.
