Description
Mr. Kurosawa was formerly a carpenter foreman. At Topaz Relocation Center, he became a block boiler man. On a hike, he picked up some abandoned animal traps. Using the boiler fire, he shaped the metal into knife blades. The handles were made from scraps of wood. After leaving Topaz, these kitchen knives continued to be used by the family for many years.
