Hand-forged by Taiki Maeda, 6th generation blacksmith of Motokyuuichi Hamono, in Nagasaki, Japan for the Hatsukokoro brand, this 240mm gyuto has an Aogami Super core with iron cladding. Its kurouchi finish gives it a traditional, rustic look. The knife carries noticeable heft, solid and substantial in the hand. Aogami Super offers exceptional edge retention, among the best of any carbon steel. This is a well-built Japanese chef's knife for cooks who want some weight behind their cuts.

Notes:
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you'd like to see the exact knife you'll receive, email us at info@zahocho.com.
Kurouchi finish forms naturally during forging. Fading, patchy spots, or light scratching are normal and not defects. If a uniform finish matters to you, other finishes may suit you better.
Minor variations in finish, surface marks, and measurements are normal in handcrafted Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
