A thin, fine cutter with a good blend of hardness, edge formation and corrosion resistance. A precision knife that won't tolerate misuse.

Smithed by "Kikuchiyo" in Sakai, who's work has gained a well-earned reputation for superb edge formation and toughness thanks to excellent heat control during forging and a very thorough heat treatment. 

Ground and finished by "Izo." We have been consistently impressed with how nicely these fine blades cut and at the quality of his finish work. On this series, his high polish along the hagane and lower jigane that extenuates the clad line is exceptionally unique and striking.
