Hitachi White #2 clad in soft iron forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka of Sakai City, Undoubtedly one of the most revered blacksmiths, Tanaka-san's mastery of heat treating steel is loved by many users around the globe.
These gyuto have a sleek KS inspired profile with a laser convex grind and a whisper thin pointy tip. Edge geometry is as thin as it gets with these. Designed to excel as a push cutting all rounder for both bulk and delicate work.
Finished with a smooth satin finish with a light contrast. The heat treatment and geometry make these a breeze to sharpen to a razor keen edge.
