About the Maker - Baba Hamono

Baba Hamono, also known as Baba Cutlery Works Co., Ltd., is a prestigious cutlery maker situated in Sakai, Japan. Established in 1969, the company’s roots are deeply embedded in Sakai’s 600-year-old tradition of Japanese knife forging. Baba Hamono offers a variety of products, including Japanese and Western knives, sharpening whetstones, and cutting boards. The Kagekiyo series, known for its vibrant and distinctly Japanese “lustre red” finish made with traditional Japanese Kiso lacquerware, is one of their notable product lines.

About the Shape - Kiritsuke

The Kiritsuke (切付包丁/切りつけ), like most traditional Japanese knives, is a single bevel knife, meaning that only one side of the blade is ground to form a razor-sharp edge. A double bevel Kiritsuke usually refers to a variation of the Gyuto knife with a Kiristuke-style edge, and is often labeled as a Kiritsuke Gyuto or a K-tip Gyuto.

About the Steel - Ginsan

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Ginsan (Silver #3) is a carbon steel and what makes it special is that it is stainless at the same time. Ginsan is easy to sharpen and has a hardness similar to the Shirogami steels, making it ideal for users who want an easy to maintain steel.
