This is a Motokyuuichi Kurosagi Santoku 165mm, a hand-forged Aogami Super knife in a deliberately rustic kurouchi finish, the three-purpose shape for vegetables, fish and meat.
The listing describes smith Motokyuuichi applying a low-temperature, long-soak heat treatment to Hitachi's Aogami Super, the top carbon steel of that family, for an edge that stays sharp while resisting the chipping high-hardness carbon can show; the spec table rates it at HRC62 to HRC65. The core is clad in soft iron with an uneven, hammered finish the listing owns up to as rustic rather than tidy, which also helps food release, over a grind it describes as thin but sturdy. The handle is an octagonal black chacate.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 165mm edge and 153g.
The exposed carbon edge will discolour and can rust, so rinse and dry the blade as you finish cooking, oil it before long storage, and keep it out of the dishwasher, which would damage the wood handle.
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.
