Versatile Hitohira Kikuchiyo Manzo 210mm Deba Aogami 2 Ho Wood With Saya - Today Only [bVfxo6cQ]

Hand forged and ground in Sakai, the Kikuchiyo Manzo series knives from Hitohira represent excellent Sakai craftsmanship. These are characterized by a forging and heat treatment that offers an easy sharpening, good toughness and excellent edge life.

Deep ground ura hollow grind on the inside makes for excellent food release and helps to keep a narrow urasaki throughout the life of the blade and a polished spine and heel are a nice touch.

Manzo, son of famed Sakai sharpener Kambei, carries on the family lineage of extremely high quality wide bevel work. Kambei along with a few other Sakai sharpeners pioneered the style of wide bevel on double bevel knives.
