Hand-forged by Taiki Maeda, 6th generation blacksmith of Motokyuuichi Hamono, in Nagasaki, Japan for the Hatsukokoro brand, this 210mm kiritsuke gyuto has an Aogami Super core at ~64 HRC with iron cladding. The kurouchi finish gives it a traditional, rustic aesthetic. It has a nice heft to it, solid in hand. Aogami Super has exceptional edge retention, one of the best among carbon steels. An all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife that punches above its price. A solid first Japanese knife for cooks drawn to carbon steel.

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.
