Harukaze means "windy spring" in Japanese. These Harukaze knives have been made for CKTG exclusively from a medium-sized factory in Tosa, Japan. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality knife at a reasonable price. It starts with a core steel (G3) with an HRC of 62, then adds a stainless steel cladding with migaki finish which roughly translated to "polished". It is then finished off with a lovely oak octagonal wood handle. As a bonus, it has a nice kanji engraving on both sides of the blade.
