Trade In Tagai Sanjo 210mm Gyuto Stainless Clad Shirogami 2 Oak and Wenge Handle

Trade in gyuto in great condition without original packaging. This stainless clad carbon steel knife shows signs of use through some slight suface scratches and the expected core steel oxidation. The edge has been sharpened to remove some small chips, making the new edge sharp and a bit tougher than factory. 

Original Listing:

Tagai knives are a collaboration born in Sanjo Niigata featuring the smithing well-respected Sanjo blacksmiths; Mutsumi Hinoura and Takashi Hosokawa (from Gihei).

These are forged in stainless clad shirogami 2 with a kurouchi finish, they have the classic Sanjo geometry with strong distal taper and a square leaning oak and wenge octagonal handle, also made in Sanjo specifically for this series.

The shirogami in the core is expertly forged and heat treated. They have a fabulous blend of easy sharpening, fine edge formation and good edge life for shirogami 2, along with a much easier maintenance with their stainless cladding.
