Hitohira Kikuchiyo Ren 210mm Gyuto Aogami 2 Ho Wood

Hand forged in Sakai and ground by a young sharpener in Sakai. These knives come with an impressive lineage with the sharpener's grandfather being one of a few knife makers who pioneered the wide bevel grinding on double bevel knives.

The affordable price is to help support the sales of this series while he is training. We are impressed with the quality of his work on these top quality forged knives.
