Tetsujin Silver #3 Metal Flow Gyuto 210mm Taihei Makassar Ebony Handle

Tetsujin is the brand name for knives made by blacksmith Toru Tamura and sharpener Naohito Myojin. Two highly skilled perfectionist craftsmen and both some of the finest artisans of their generation. Tomura Sans blue steel has a hardness of around 63-64 HRC, very resilient to chipping and easy to touch up and with excellent edge retention.
Silver steel is the newest edition to the Tetsujin range. High hardness (63+) with superb sharpening ability and edge formation. The Silver steel series features two different finishes; Kasumi and Ukiba. Kasumi is the standard finish similar to the blue steel with shiny core and mat soft cladding. Ukiba is a different scratch pattern going from handle to tip with shiny cladding.
Myojin Sans sharpening is characterized by very even, thin convex (hamaguri) bevels, superior cutting performance, strong geometry and outstanding polish.
The combined skill of these two longtime friends match in a unique way, on their own they’re good but
together they’re great.
