  • Handmade in Miki, Japan, a town with an old smith’s tradition at a Miki Hamono forge.
  • Double layered blade (softer steel sandwiched around the hard steel core) makes for an easier sharpening.
  • Japanese blue paper steel Ao Gami#2 blade high in carbon.
  • Magnolia wood handle (unfinished).
  • Single beveled blade for precision slicing.
  • Perfect as a gift, comes in a Japanese calligraphy ornamented box.

General:

  • Blade hardness : 60±1 HRC scale
  • Overall length is 400mm
  • Blade length 240mm

NOTICE: The blade is made of rusting steel therefore it is essential to wipe it dry and coat it in oil after washing (Camellia oil is prefect for coating).
