Introducing the aogami#2 honyaki sakimaru crafted by the skilled hands of Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa. This blade is the result of a meticulous forging process, where a single piece of steel is differentially heat-treated. The hira has a polished, mirror-like finish. Completing this sakimaru is an octagonal ebony handle, adorned with a blonde horn ferrule and a silver spacer. This knife is an exquisite choice for professional sushi chefs and discerning culinary enthusiasts alike.
