Hitohira Togashi 240mm Kiritsuke Gyuto Aogami 2 Kurouchi Ebony Handle

Hand made in Sakai forged by dentoukougeishi master smith Kenji Togashi and expertly ground by his son.

These are super easy to sharpen with a long edge life and smooth cutting feel with nicely finished corners. Slightly larger than usual geometry for a Sakai gyuto, but still following that style. Macasser ebony and light colored horn handle are a nice compliment.

Please note: These are rustic style knives with a top shelf forging and heat treatment. They have a natural kurouchi finish that is formed after forging and heat treatment and not removed, rather than applied after grinding. Blade thickness and weight will vary as well having hammer marks that can be seen in the kireba bevel and rough forged face. There can be light scuffs or cosmetic irregularities on the kurouchi finish due to its natural occurrence.
