Shigeki Tanaka Blue #2 Santoku 165mm. The knife is hammer-forged by Shigeki and features a refined, kasumi finish with hand engraved kanji on the face of the blade. The cladding is stainless steel and the core steel is Aogami #2 which is top-shelf carbon steel capable of taking extremely keen edges and holding those edges through large volumes of produce. The grind is very thin and evenly ground which gives the knife outstanding performance. The handle is an upgraded walnut octagonal with black pakka ferrule. As with any hand-produced item, these knives do vary from one another. Also, you need to wipe the knife edge dry after washing it to avoid rusting.
