Karaku knives are forged in Tosa region of Shikoku by blacksmith Michikuni Tokaji, from Aogami #1, a highly regarded blue steel known for its ability to get incredibly sharp and hold an edge. The dark, traditional kuroichi finish offers protection from discoloration. Handles are made from magnolia (ho) wood and turned in a D shape. Overall, a great value and ideal starter knife for cooks interested in traditional carbon steel blades and Japanese style handles.Blade length165mm (6.4")Thickness at spine2 mmThickness at tip0.8 mmHardness (Rockwell scale)59
