This 21-cm (8.3-in) gyuto is in suminagashi with a core made from aogami 2, a high-performance non-stainless carbon steel.
It is harder than shirogami because it also contains chrome and tungsten, which also strengthens its resistance to wear.
The blade is hand-engraved by Tanaka San: more proof of the artisanal design of his blades.
The traditional-style handle is in honoki and real buffalo horn.
Beware: this blade can rust, so it must be well dried after use.
