This is a Hatsukokoro Ginso Ginsan Nickel Damascus Santoku 180mm, the three-purpose shape for vegetables, fish and meat in easy-going Ginsan stainless.
Ginsan (Silver #3) is the point of the line: the listing calls it one of the easiest stainless knife steels to sharpen, with edge retention close to VG10. This version puts a low-layer nickel Damascus cladding over it, a loose, gentle pattern across the blade rather than a busy one. The listing notes the cutting is the same as the original migaki Ginso, so the pattern is decoration, not performance. The listing rates the core at HRC60 to HRC62. The handle is an octagonal black chacate.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 172mm edge and 134g.
Wash with a neutral detergent after use and wipe it dry rather than putting it in the dishwasher, which would damage the wood handle, and sharpen it on a waterstone when it needs it.
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.
