This Gyuto is hand-forged with Aogami #2 steel, cladded with carbon steel, heat-treated to 61-62 HRC, hand-grinded and hand-sharpened by the young and aspiring artisan Mr. Yoshihiro Yauji. Yoshihiro’s exceptional attention to detail is showcased in the elegant Damascus Kyomen (mirror) finish and Kasumi polish. The choil is so well polished that it's mirror reflective. Installed on a premium walnut handle handle with black buffalo horn kuchiwa, this knife offers incredible cutting smoothness, well-balanced handling and a stunning look. It’s worth noting that Mr. Yoshihiro Yauji does forging, grinding, finishing, and sharpening, all by himself.
