This is a Hatsukokoro Ginso gyuto, the chef's knife of a line built to make an expensive steel affordable.
Ginso means silver frost, and it names the core: Hitachi Ginsan, a stainless steel with a reputation for taking a fine edge, under a stainless cladding finished in ukiba. Above the cladding line the surface carries a haze-like layer that reads as fog over water, a finish Hatsukokoro usually leaves to its higher lines, and the migaki polish runs parallel to the spine. This is the knife the source recommends for first-timers and students: good steel without the babysitting of carbon.
Stainless makes it easy to look after, but the routine still stands: wash with neutral detergent, wipe dry, no dishwasher, and a waterstone when the edge starts to push instead of bite.
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.
