This is a Mizuhonyaki Shirogami #1 Kiritsuke Yanagiba forged by master blacksmith Kenji Togashi. It features a full mirror polish with a Fujinami (Mt. Fuji) hamon, depicting a full moon on the hira and a crescent moon on the ura. This knife is sharpened by Nori Igarashi of Yamawaki Hamono.
Kenji Togashi started making knives in 1967 and is regarded as one of Sakai’s master blacksmiths. In 1996, he was officially recognized as a "Dentoukougeishi" (Traditional Craftsman) by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. In 2007, the city of Sakai awarded him the "Master of Traditional Crafts" certification for his excellent quenching technique and outstanding skills in making kitchen knives.
Other master craftsmen with this certification include Yoshikazu Tanaka, Yoshikazu Ikeda, Shigehiro Kasahara (sharpener), and Hirotsugo Tosa (sharpener), among others.
Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you want to see the exact knife you'll receive, just email us at info@zahocho.com.
Minor variations in surface finish and measurements are normal in hand-forged 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.
