The incredibly skilled forge is known for its extremely beautiful and functional knives. He is particularly known for his Tsuchime finish, which can be found on, among other things, his Senko series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis knife is from the older Gekko series which is hand forged in 3 layers - HAP40 in the core and soft stainless on the outside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e HAP40. A semi-stainless steel type that is hardened really hard, and takes a very biting edge, and stays sharp like almost nothing else. Semi-stainless means it may get a bit of patina with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife here is a so-called \u003cem\u003eutility knife\u003c\/em\u003e of 15 cm. After the chef's knife, it is probably the most universal knife of the common types, and can also replace a chef's knife in many ways. It is not quite as tall as a chef's knife and is also shorter, making it very easy to handle. It can be used for slicing vegetables and cutting smaller pieces of meat - and it is fantastically good for trimming meat as well as finer cutting tasks in fruit and vegetables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 562px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 26.75px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 26.75px;\"\u003e Brand\/series \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 26.75px;\"\u003e Yu Kurosaki - Gekko \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 16px;\"\u003e Type \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 16px;\"\u003e Gyuto\/Chef's knife \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eForging and steel\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e 3 Layer XGXEOS And Stainless Steel \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGrinding\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e 50\/50 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHandle type\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e Japanese handle in oak \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eYes\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 33px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 33px;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHardness\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 33px;\"\u003e 62\/63 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 134px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.719px; height: 134px;\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e Specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e (May vary due to handmade) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 375.281px; height: 134px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Length: 150mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Height: 34mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Weight: 83g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Width out of the handle: 2mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe knife, like all other good Japanese knives,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ecannot be machine washed\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e, always wash your knives by\u003c\/span\u003e hand.
