An excellent mid sized kiritsuke gyuto from Yoshikane Hamono that we've paired with a one off custom handle made from quilted maple with blue maple spacer and white G10 rings.
If you're looking for a truly one of a kind knife then look no further. The handle made by UK craftsman @letshandlethis finishes off the knife fantastically.

Our aim is to measure and photograph all our products as accurately as possible but due to the handmade nature of many items, please be aware that there may be some variance in the measurements and that things such as blade and knife handle patterns can vary and presentation boxes may differ from those shown but we will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by the manufacturer and should therefore be used as a guide.
