The Hashimoto shirogami#1 honyaki gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged by damascus artist Shoichi Hashimoto. This honyaki gyuto features a distinctive random hamon unlike typical symmetrical waves seen on honyaki knives, with the irregular organic pattern meandering along the blade.
This honyaki notably exhibits a mesmerizing jihada - the visible grain pattern that results from the steel being repeatedly folded over itself and drawn out during the laborious forging process.
The blade is sharpened by Naohito Myojin adding to the collaborative craftsmanship involved in creating this exquisite piece. This synergy between Hashimoto's forging and Myojin's sharpening ensures the knife is not only a work of art but also a highly functional tool.
This gyuto is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate exotic blades crafted by top artisans. Its combination of unique aesthetics and top-tier craftsmanship makes it a prized addition to any collection.
