Kurosaki Gekko VG XEOS Nakiri 165mm
The Gekko is a series of knives forged by Master Yu Kurosaki that shines just like its name "Moonlight". These blades look plain and simple from afar, but they will reveal their beauty when examined up close: the bevel is finished with a uniform high grit Migaki finish, where the rest of the blade has a dotted yet polished texture. This finish soften the light, but it is not as rough as a Nashiji finish. Subtle, elegant and poetic, it wouldn't be hard for someone to relate this look to the bright moon in the sky when examine Gekko under a spotlight.
