Japanese Chef Knife Kisuke Manaka Kurogane Series Blue 1 Tsuchime Gyuto 210mm
From the “Kurogane” series by Manaka Hamono, this knife features an Aogami #1 core with a soft iron clad, San-Mai (three-layer) construction and a Tsuchime (hammered) finish.
While this series is typically offered with a traditional Kurouchi finish, this particular piece has been given a gunmetal-style finish, resulting in a more subdued and substantial appearance. Its unique texture subtly changes depending on the light, adding to its visual appeal.
The core steel is Aogami #1. With its high carbon content and the addition of tungsten and chromium, it delivers excellent edge retention and wear resistance, maintaining a sharp edge over extended use. When properly sharpened, it can achieve an exceptionally fine and refined edge, making it well suited for professional applications.
The soft iron cladding in San-Mai construction ensures ease of sharpening and practical usability, while the Tsuchime finish not only enhances aesthetics but also improves food release.
A refined balance of performance, durability, and modern interpretation of traditional Japanese craftsmanship—distinctly representative of Manaka Hamono.
A double edge, blade length 210mm for professional use.
