This is a Hatsukokoro Kurokaze Gyuto 180mm, a White 2 carbon steel knife under stainless cladding in a kurouchi finish, a short chef's gyuto for the home kitchen.
The listing for this line compares it to the old Mazaki gyuto: a tall blade with a fat tang, but under the kurouchi finish the cladding is stainless rather than soft iron, which the listing points out is far easier to look after in the kitchen. The core is White 2 carbon steel at HRC60 to HRC64, which the listing credits with edge retention, sharpness and ease of sharpening, and the kurouchi surface keeps its raw, organic look. The handle is an octagonal black chacate.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 189mm edge and 172g.
Wash with a neutral detergent after use and wipe it dry, keep it out of the dishwasher to protect the wood handle, oil the carbon blade before long storage, and sharpen it on a waterstone rather than a honing rod.
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.
