Specifications
A Japanese chef's knife handcrafted in Toyama, Japan by Sukenari Hamono. This 270mm kiritsuke 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, 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.

It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.
