This is a Tsunehisa Ginsan Nashiji Bunka 180mm, a Ginsan stainless knife with a sandblasted pear-skin finish, with the pointed bunka tip for detail work around the board.
The look here comes from a textured nashiji pear-skin finish that meets the polished bevel in a wavy line, which the listing says is made by sandblasting the migaki-finished bevel over a mask: an organic, forged-looking surface rather than a smooth uniform one. The core is Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless at HRC60 to HRC62, and the listing is honest that the grind keeps some thickness behind the edge with a flatter bevel, added resistance at the very start of a cut in exchange for a stronger edge, which it positions well for people new to Japanese knives. Ginsan is a straightforward stainless that the listing calls easy to sharpen and happy to be touched up often. The handle is an octagonal ebony.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 175mm edge and 144g.
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.
