"This rough forge-finished kuro-uchi blade is in 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 has been hand-engraved by Tanaka.
The traditional-style handle is in honoki and real buffalo horn.
This thin, light blade is double bevelled and easy to use.
Beware: this blade can rust, so it must be well dried after use.
