Hitachi Blue #1 core laminated with soft iron damascus, forged by Satoshi Nakagawa.
Grind and finish by Kawakita Hamono.
Joining the Blue 1 Suminagashi series is this convex ground blade that sits on the taller end of typical slicers. Designed not only to excel at carving and slicing, but also a bit of general dicing prep. With a stiff and pointy Kiritsuke tip to suit more delicate work.
Ground with some of the heat treatment oxides left on for a nice grip as well as a rustic look and feel.
