Hatsukokoro Ginyo Ginsan Damascus Santoku 180mm

About Hatsukokoro Ginyo - Made by Yoshihiro Yauji, a blacksmith from Takefu Knife Village, with over 15 years of apprenticeship under Master Blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka, he started producing his own knives under his name in 2019. Yoshihiro Yauji is an expert in crafting traditional single-bevel knives; this is the first series we've seen with a double bevel - using Ginsan and finishing them with an intricate Damascus. In our humble opinion, these knives deserve more recognition!
