This is a Nigara Aogami Super Santoku 180mm, a kurouchi hammered finish, the three-purpose shape for vegetables, fish and meat.
The core is Aogami Super, the most highly alloyed of Hitachi's blue carbon steels, which the listing credits with edge retention beyond the other blue steels. Here it is wrapped in stainless cladding, which the listing notes protects most of the blade and takes some of the maintenance pressure off a high-carbon edge, while the exposed cutting line still needs the usual carbon care. The listing rates the core at HRC62 to HRC65. The handle is an octagonal black chacate.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 168mm edge and 160g.
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.
