Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo SG2 Rainbow Damascus Santoku yukihiro-sakai single bevel deba knife made

single bevel deba knife made by Yauji Yoshihiro under the watchful eye of master blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka

A superb mid sized all rounder with a very thin edge

The knife is completely hand forged and sharpened by Manaka-san and has been fitted with an equally beautiful ebony handle with brass bolster which offsets the fairly significant weight of the large blade and puts the balance point just forward of the heel

The short ko-bunka is a perfect peeler and ideal for small intricate jobs and with a little extra height over a similiar length petty it's also possible to hold in a comfortable pinch grip for even more precision

we think this one would be a wonderful addition to a collection and would work nicely as an all-rounder in any kitchen
