Kaneshige Hamono 240mm Gyuto Stainless Clad Aogami 2 Kurouchi Ho Wood Handle

Rustic style stainless clad aogami 2 gyuto made for Kaneshige Hamono (parent company of Konosuke). This is a no frills slightly heavier hand forged blade that has a hollow grind on the wide kireba grinds. A great example of the kind of knife popular in the rural Japanese market; nothing fancy on the finish work but made with a good quality steel. 

Avoid hacking with these knives or using them on any hard shells, pits or with a scraping or twisting motion on the board.
