"Nashiji" means "pear skin" in Japanese and the blades are finished with a nice matte, texturized way that you see here. These are san mai knives (clad) and the edge steel is Hitachi Blue #2 (also called Aogami #2).
Blacksmith: Kousuke Muneishi
Location: Tosa, Japan
Construction: San Mai / Hammer Forged
Edge Steel: Blue #2
Stainless Clad
Finish: Nashiji
Edge Grind: Even (See Choil Shot)
Weight: 4.2 oz (118 g)
Blade Length: 153 mm
Overall Length: 298 mm
Spine Thickness at Heel: 3.4 mm

Please note that an epoxy is applied to the top of the handle to protect and secure the blade; this is intentional but can sometimes appear to be in excess.
