Crafted in Sakai, Japan by renowned blacksmiths Kikuchiyo and Gorobei, and sharpened by up and coming star Ren. This is a special knife and amazing value for such a high quality hand forged steel blade. Ren is the grandson of one of the best sharpeners that ever graced Japan's shore's, Morihiro San. These knives are being sold close to cost to help him gain experience.
These knives are extremely thin on last batches we have received. They will cut amazingly but require care to prevent chipping or warping of edge. Please take extra care as to how you cut, what you cut and where you cut (ie, soft cutting boards only).
