Specifications
Handforged in Sakai, Japan by blacksmith Kenji Togashi, with sharpening by Nori Igarashi of Yamawaki Hamono. This 210mm gyuto is forged from Aogami #1 (Blue #1), water-quenched. The full mirror finish already shows the hada/banding. As patina develops with use, the banding becomes more pronounced (etching will bring it out immediately if you don't want to wait). At 210mm, it's a natural fit for smaller kitchens or anyone who prefers a more compact blade for everyday use.
Togashi-san's aogami #1 is easier to sharpen than most people expect from a honyaki at this hardness. It responds well on the stone and gets back to a keen edge without much effort.

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.
