Description

Musashi kurouchi AS kiritsuke 210mm traditionally born as a hybrid blade between Usuba and Yanagiba. Its shape makes its use extremely versatile. You can chop herbs, mince vegetables and at the same time cut fish or pieces of meat. All this without the need to change the knife.

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 dyed and stabilized black ash burl, copper and resin spacers, synthetic amber bolster.
