History and curiosity

Musashi Hamono is a company that brings together several blacksmiths from different places such as Miki, Tosa, Sakai among others. Their goal is to highlight the incredible work of lesser known craftsmen. In Japanese culture, the use of kiritsuke is reserved for chefs. This blade is forged from super Aogami steel, with a remarkable hardness of 63-64 HRC. The blade has a kurouchi (as-forged) finish.

The handle

The handle was made with a stabilized and dyed boxelder burl, brass and resin spacers.
