Hitachi Gingami #3 forge welded between soft stainless steel by Satoshi Nakagawa. Grinding by the famed Kawakita Hamono.
A collaboration between a highly regarded blacksmith and sharpener, this work features a well balanced convex grind leading to a thin edge with good heel height - making this gyuto is a great all rounder for a wide variety of tasks.
The upper part of the blade is satin finished while the lower end has a hazy finish, creating a simple and timeless aesthetic. Being all stainless, this gyuto is rather easy to care for, while still being capable of taking a very refined edge.
