HirotomoAoko Kasumi Yanagi - Kuroichi
Hirotomo Aoko Kasumi Collection
This high value
series of knives is made by forge welding together aoko hagane or
blue carbon steel to iron to make the blade. The blue
steel is hardened to RC63.
The knives feature
traditional ho wood handles and water buffalo horn ferrules. All of
them are single bevel which means the outside of the blade is angled to
form an edge while the inside is actually concave. This creates a
very sharp edge that is easy to maintain. The blade is also left
with the black kuroichi finish above the bevel on the outside
of the blade.Aoko
hagane and iron are not stainless and will discolor with use.
