Hiroshi Kajihara, the blacksmith responsible for these lovely knives, does exquisite work, including these mirror-finished ginsan blades that we are offering. Chefknivestogo is the first international dealer to offer their knives. Over the past 2 decades, we've introduced dozens of Japanese blacksmiths to customers for the first time and it's been our great pleasure to do so. This gyuto is made with an even grind so both left and right-handed users can work with it.
