Based in Osaka Japan, Yamato's craftsmen have developed two distinct lines using White #2 carbon steel: Kon-gou and Oboro. The Kon-gou series boasts a migaki finish with a natural stone finish along the cladding line, while the Oboro line features a slender geometry and kasumi finish on the soft iron cladding. The knife you see here is the Kon-gou series.
