Made using tamahagane steel and the same manufacturing methods as Japanese swords, this is a kitchen knife that can be enjoyed as a work of art, with features like forged grain and hamon (blade pattern) that become visible when sharpened. Artistically polished. It has undergone the processes of wiping, blade removal, and narume, which are typical of sword polishing, and has been polished for artistic appreciation. Suitable for purposes such as tuna dismantling knives, oni-sori (demon-curved) knives, nukitsuke (quick-draw) knives, and tako-biki (octopus-slicing) knives. It's also interesting for practicing sharpening or as a hobby. Also suitable for practicing sword polishing. The image is a reference example of a tamahagane kitchen knife with a custom handle. It has a straight blade with a midare-ba (irregular) hamon and mokume-hada (wood grain) steel, which is interesting to look at. You may also see forging cracks, which are part of its character. The handles are made of Japanese magnolia wood or imported fine wood. Silver rings, buffalo horn, and African bison horn are inlaid. The handles are for 1-shaku to 1-shaku-1-sun fugu-biki (pufferfish-slicing) knives, and a Japanese cuisine chef actually uses them to ensure a comfortable grip, length, and balance. Handles are in stock, so please specify your preference. This is a double-edged tuna knife. Since it has an "ago" (jaw) instead of a "nakago" (tang), it is strictly a tuna knife or sashimi knife. It is not treated as a sword and is considered a cutting tool, so it does not violate the Firearms and Swords Law. As it is a kitchen knife, registration is not required. Suitable for Shinto rituals such as hocho-shiki (knife ceremony). Also suitable for display and exhibition. Comes with a sheath for storage.
