Create a truly unique culinary experience with the Hakata Blue steel #2 Kurouchi Sumi Urushi Handle 165mm culinary knife. This luxurious blade will provide a precise balance of sharpness and strength; perfect for delicate tasks like slicing seafood or vegetables. The Urushi handle provides an exclusive and elegant tactile sensation, adding a touch of sophistication and refinement to your culinary journey.

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

Awsome first Japanese knife!!!

Camping, woods, pocket, hunting, vintage, army combat, cooking, throwing, etc..but never had a japan hand made one. I enjoy even more than usual preparing my meal, with my dexterity, the kind of cuts this kind of knife allow me to do.

A very good knife overall. A nice balanced weight, a bit hard to sharpen but not by much compared to other knives I’ve had.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
