Summary
In this steel-sharpened episode of Hobsessions, we enter the world of two men bound by fire, heritage, and the art of the blade. In Japan, we meet Mutsumi Hinoura, son of legendary bladesmith Tsukasa Hinoura. Raised in a family where metal sings and sparks fly, Mutsumi has forged knives since youth, shaping blades with a style uniquely his own yet rooted in centuries of Hinoura tradition.
Every strike of his hammer keeps this ancient craft alive. Back in Singapore, we meet Khairi Joharim, a man on a mission to defend Malay culture one keris at a time. His collection now holds over 700 blades, each carrying its own story and spirit. What began as fascination is now a calling—Khairi runs a YouTube channel and free workshops to preserve and pass on keris heritage. Together, Mutsumi and Khairi reveal a world where passion is forged in fire, history lives in steel, and obsession becomes a way of life.
