This is a Hatsukokoro Aokitae Gyuto 210mm, a forged Blue 2 carbon steel knife under kurouchi iron cladding, the all-purpose chef's shape for the home kitchen.
As the name says, the Aokitae is forged, and the listing credits that for real reductions in spine thickness and weight against the non-tapered Aosagi, a knife it otherwise looks very close to: the same san-mai structure of a Blue 2 carbon core under iron cladding with the iconic kurouchi finish, but with material removed at the front, so it carries and steers more nimbly. The listing rates the core at HRC61 to HRC63, and the handle is an octagonal black chacate.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 215mm edge and 176g.
The listing notes both core and cladding are reactive carbon steel, so the blade will take a patina: rinse and dry it immediately after use, keep it out of the dishwasher, and oil it before long storage.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
