■ Features:
This knife is hand‑forged by fire‑welding Aogami Steel No.2 to soft iron. The forging is carried out at as low a temperature as possible to draw out the full performance of Aogami No.2, resulting in a blade that embodies traditional craftsmanship. Its sharp edge lasts a long time, making it ideal for professionals and users who demand high‑quality Japanese knives.
The handle features a water buffalo horn ferrule, giving it the appearance and feel of a traditional Japanese-style knife.

As our kitchen knife is very sharp, we recommend that you use a chopping board made of unfinished soft wood. Wash, wipe, and let it dry after use to keep it clean and hygienic.
By sharpening regularly, the product lasts for a long time. Contact us for the maintenance or if you need any assistance. 

■ About Sharpness:
The knife is sharpened to a level suitable for general use, but the final edge should be adjusted by the user according to personal preference.
You can slice fish very beautifully! Good for making Sashimi!

■ Notes:
Because the blade is forged at the lowest temperature possible, small gaps may be visible along the weld line. These are considered normal for this product and are not defects.
Do not use in a dishwasher or dryer.
As this is a carbon steel knife, it will rust. Please wipe off moisture frequently during use.
