This is a Hatsukokoro Blue 2 Damascus santoku, a polished all-purpose kitchen knife with an ebony handle.
The construction is a blue no. 2 carbon steel core in soft iron damascus cladding, a combination more often seen on high-end Sakai knives, and Hatsukokoro finishes it with a smooth migaki polish that reveals the damascus pattern in the cladding. The blade runs thick through the spine and tapers into a strong convex bevel, a workhorse shape that pushes through hard food with the weight of the blade behind the cut.
The source's own routine for a carbon or clad blade like this: wash with neutral detergent and wipe dry after use, never a dishwasher, keep it away from long heat, and oil it before storing it up. No bone hacking, and a waterstone rather than a gadget when the edge slows. This is a carbon knife: it wants drying after use and oiling before storage, and a waterstone when the edge slows.
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.
