Hitohira Togashi 165mm Petty Aogami 2 Kurouchi Cherry Handle Ebony End

Hand made in Sakai, kurouchi finished iron clad Aogami #2 forged by dentoukougeishi master smith Kenji Togashi and expertly ground by his son Kenya.

Octagonal Cherry wood shaves a little weight off and makes for a very secure grip even when wet or greasy and is highly rot and bacteria resistant. 

Please note: These are rustic style knives with a top shelf forging and heat treatment. They have a natural kurouchi finish that is formed after forging and heat treatment and not removed, rather than applied after grinding. Blade thickness and weight will vary as well having hammer marks that can be seen in the kireba bevel and rough forged face.  There can be light scuffs or cosmetic irregularities on the kurouchi finish due to its natural occurrence.
