About the Maker - Tetsujin Hamono

Tetsujin Hamono is a renowned Japanese knife-making workshop, founded by blacksmith Toru Tamura and sharpener Naohito Myojin. The duo started Tetsujin Hamono in the late 2010s and have since been crafting world-class blades. Together, Tamura and Myojin create knives that are not only functional but also embody the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.

About the Shape - Gyuto

The Gyuto (牛刀) is a type of Japanese kitchen knife that has a double-bevel blade, meaning it is sharpened on both sides. It is similar to the western-style chef’s knife, but it is usually thinner, lighter, and sharper. The name Gyuto means “cow sword” in Japanese, because it was originally used for slicing beef.

About the Steel - SG2

Developed by Takefu Special Steel Company in Japan, SG2 or Super Gold 2 is a high-end stainless powdered tool steel alloy which is capable of being treated to a hardness of 64 HRC.

About the Finish - Kasumi

Kasumi (霞) means "mist" and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge.
