Kaki san, who is the sole blacksmith at Yamashin, utilizes the ever-popular Aogami #2 carbon steel as his cutting edge on this great performing gyuto. He surrounds this core with a layer of soft iron steel using a hammer forge technique known as san-mai.
This is a nicely proportioned blade, and with a height at the heel of about 47.5 mm, it is especially attractive to lovers of taller knives. It is not a super thin knife nor is it possessing of wonderful fit and finish. What you get with this gyuto is an honest blade with a very good grind and good heat treatment, all at a super attractive price. The edge is well made and it is quite thin at the tip. The great looks are enhanced by a nicely made walnut and pakka wood handle. This is a perfect workhorse knife or a good entry point into the fascinating world of Japanese kitchen knives.Maker: Yamashin

Got this knife a little bit over six months ago.so I can give a super honest review for it. Super happy with this 180mm
Funayaki !!! Itโs is my workhorse pretty much using it on a daily basis. When I received it I gave it a little sharpening
And since then itโs pretty much only strapped and itโs still super sharp !!! Bottom line is what you getting as far as the price. Truly exceeded my expectation. Thx guys ๐๐ผ
The only extra thing that I did because of my OCD lol ๐
I polished the spine and the choy for a better look and feel.
