[General Features]
This Honyaki knife with a WAVE texture 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 WAVE pattern 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 handle, made of Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata) wood, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. The Japanese yew wood is dense, hard and beautiful with luster, so that it has been used to make important tools for high-level officials in ancient Japan.
The Buffalo Tsuba equipped to the handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally. (Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (guard) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.)
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 better cooking experience.
