This is a Tsunehisa AS Kurouchi Tsuchime Petty 150mm, an Aogami Super carbon edge under stainless cladding, a small utility size for trimming and peeling.
The listing presents this line as an approachable way into carbon steel: a stainless cladding protects most of the blade, leaving only the exposed Aogami Super edge to look after, and that edge taking a patina over time is normal and helps settle the steel. Aogami Super is the highest performing of Hitachi's carbon line-up for edge retention, and the listing says it takes a very aggressive edge. On geometry the listing is again candid: a flat primary bevel with some thickness behind the edge, and the transition at the shinogi line helping food peel away on the draw through. The listing rates the core at HRC62 to HRC65, and the handle is an octagonal ebony.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 152mm edge and 91g.
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.
