Crafted by the renowned blacksmith Yoshihiro Yauji from Echizen, Japan, this exquisite knife is part of the Hatsukokoro Saihyo ("diamond dust") series. It features an SG2 Damascus blade made from SG2 powdered tool steel, boasting a hardness rating of HRC 62-63. The knife is adorned with suminagashi cladding, which not only enhances its appearance but also contributes to its stellar cutting performance. This finely honed, laser-type knife combines exceptional craftsmanship with striking aesthetics.
The knife you see here measures 215mm, a perfect length for most kitchens and chefs needing a compact-size knife. The dimensions also make it well suited to taking on smaller ingredients or ones requiring fine detail work. It has a nice profile, good for pushers and rockers. There is a nicely executed symmetrical 50/50 edge which will hold that sharpness very well.
These are great-looking knives, for sure. But they are also real performers.Maker: Yoshimi Kato

Got the last one they had in stock... The fit and finish was great, it's a stunning knife with a very thin profile. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the factory edge. It was very sharp out of box however the edge wouldn't hold long after going thru product. Took it to the stones and brought out its true potential.
