Specifications
A Japanese chef's knife handcrafted in Toyama, Japan by Sukenari Hamono. This 270mm gyuto has a HAP40 core with stainless damascus cladding. HAP40 is a semi-stainless steel mainly known for its edge retention. It will develop a patina over time, though far more slowly than a typical carbon steel. Stainless cladding keeps maintenance simple and limits reactivity to the exposed core. It comes paired with an octagonal bocote handle with buffalo horn ferrule. Bocote is a dense and stable wood with striking dark stripes.

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.
