[General Features]
This "Chi-nagashi" Honyaki knife represents "True Samurai Spirit" with unique blood-dripping texture, which is one of the hard-to-get and hard-to-make items. Please be noted that the leadtime is very unpredictable if the current stock is sold out.
The blacksmith is known the top in Sakai to forge honyaki (water-quenched) knives in Japan. There is said no one to compare to him in the world because he can make the drawing on knife blade with his skill-full honyaki technique as well as can achieve sharpness needed by real top-rank Japanese chefs.
This mirror finished Shiroko or White Paper (Shirogami) #2 Steel Knife is made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives.
Its blade is made through traditional Water Quenching Honyaki process, so the edge gets very hard and retains its sharpness for a long time.
The honyaki knives cannot be mass-produced. They are primarily for professional chefs and for the most important person because of the highest quality traditional-style Japanese knives.
Again, the blade has a special "Chi-nagashi" blood-dripping & wave texture is priceless, because it is made through the Water Quenching Honyaki process by hand. Please be noted that the WAVE pattern is never engraved, nor marked!
Speaking to the precious handle made of "Tamo wood" or "Janpanese ash tree", the Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. In addition, the wood saya sheath (knife cover) is also made of Tamo as well.
The Tamo features its beautiful grain, so the knife series is made for you, high-end customers. The handle and saya sheath represent special high quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.
In addition, the premium Paulownia (Kiri) Wood Box and high-end Brocade (Nishiki) Cloth Bag are included. The knife is inserted into the Brocade (Nishiki) Cloth Bag which you put in the Paulownia Wood Box.
That is sure to be the greatest gift that you have likely never seen. It is highly recommended for Gift as well as for your supreme cooking experience.
