This is a Nigara SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime Bunka 180mm, with the pointed bunka tip for detail work around the board.
This is Nigara's powder stainless in a rustic coat: the listing calls the line the twin of their non-kurouchi SG2 line, the same shared production keeping the price down, with a kurouchi black oxidation finish over the tsuchime hammer marks. The listing notes a powder stainless edge with a kurouchi look is not a common combination. The core is SG2/R2, the most used powdered steel in Japanese kitchen knives by the listing's reckoning, rated at HRC62 to HRC64 for toughness and edge retention. The handle is an octagonal ebony.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 168mm edge and 163g.
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.
