This is a "real" knife forged by one of the most skilled knife smiths in Tosa, Kochi, with a tough, hard, sharp edge! This is a "top-quality" forged black-finish knife.

Unlike factory-made products made by machines, handmade products can vary greatly due to differences in skill even when the same materials and manufacturing methods are used.

This is an exceptional product, with a blade that has been carefully hammered with the utmost attention to detail, with a perfectly shaped blade with few bumps and a beautifully straight edge.
